For electric sweepers and floor scrubbers, the battery is an important component that affects operating time, user experience, and shipping arrangements.

Different customers have different battery requirements. Some customers have strict requirements and only accept lithium batteries, while others are more flexible and can use lead-acid batteries if they meet their normal cleaning needs.

Therefore, for export orders, SIPU considers the customer's requirements, destination, and shipping method before arranging the most suitable battery solution.

Lithium Batteries – For Customers with Higher Battery Requirements

For customers who require longer operating time, lighter equipment, or higher battery performance, lithium batteries can be a suitable choice.

However, lithium batteries require special attention during international transportation. Different shipping methods, ports, and destinations may have different transportation requirements.

For example, under some FOB shipping arrangements from China, not every port can handle equipment containing lithium batteries.

When this situation occurs, we communicate with the customer in advance and coordinate the shipping solution according to the specific order.

Lead-Acid Batteries – A Practical Alternative

If the customer does not have a strict requirement for lithium batteries, we can also recommend lead-acid batteries as an alternative.

Lead-acid batteries are a mature and widely used battery technology for cleaning equipment and can meet the requirements of many commercial and industrial cleaning applications.

For customers who do not specifically require lithium batteries, choosing lead-acid batteries can provide greater flexibility when arranging production and transportation.

When Lithium Batteries Are Required, We Help Coordinate the Shipping

If a customer specifically requires a lithium battery, we do not simply stop the order because of transportation restrictions.

Instead, we communicate with the customer and coordinate a suitable logistics solution based on the actual situation.

For example, in certain cases, we may arrange:

The machine by FOB, while the battery is shipped separately by DDP.

This allows the machine and battery to be transported separately and can help address certain restrictions related to lithium battery transportation.

The actual shipping arrangement needs to be confirmed according to the customer's country, destination, port, products, and applicable transportation regulations at the time of shipment.

Confirm the Requirements Before Choosing the Battery

When purchasing an electric sweeper or floor scrubber, we recommend that customers tell us in advance:

• Whether a lithium battery is required;
• Whether a lead-acid battery is acceptable;
• Expected daily operating time;
• Main application environment;
• Destination country and city;
• Preferred shipping method, such as FOB or DDP.

Based on this information, we can recommend a suitable battery and coordinate an appropriate shipping solution.

At SIPU, we care not only about the cleaning machine itself, but also about making sure the equipment and its battery can be delivered to our customers safely and efficiently.
