A. Introduction: CY Cleaning Equipment and Its Core Advantages
At CY Cleaning Equipment, we understand that in the world of industrial and commercial cleaning, efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness are essential for maintaining smooth operations. As a global leader in manufacturing floor cleaning machines, we take pride in offering not only top-tier cleaning equipment but also customized solutions that meet the diverse needs of our international clients.
Whether you’re operating a hotel, managing a manufacturing facility, or overseeing a large shopping mall, we’ve worked with countless businesses across various industries to design cleaning solutions that improve both productivity and overall cost savings. From high-performance scrubbers to sweepers, our machines are engineered with durability and efficiency in mind.
But what truly sets us apart? Our focus on battery technology. As a floor cleaning equipment manufacturer, we offer two main types of batteries for our cleaning machines—lead acid and lithium-ion. Each has its unique advantages, and choosing the right one can make a significant difference in your long-term operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In this article, I’ll take you through the benefits of each type of battery, share real-life customer stories, and explain how you can get the most value from your investment in cleaning equipment.

B. Real Customer Case Studies: How CY’s Batteries Make a Difference
Let’s take a deeper look at how CY’s battery-powered floor cleaning machines have enhanced the operations of our customers around the world. I’ll share a couple of stories that highlight the tangible benefits of choosing CY for your floor cleaning needs.
Case Study 1: A Large Hotel Chain
Challenge:
One of our long-term clients, a luxury hotel chain, was struggling with frequent downtime and high maintenance costs on their old lead acid battery-powered floor scrubbers. The batteries would lose charge quickly, requiring regular replacements and costly service visits.
Solution:
We recommended upgrading their equipment to CY’s lithium-ion battery-powered machines, known for their superior performance and long lifespan. We also customized the machines to fit their cleaning schedules, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily operations.
Results:
The new lithium-ion machines provided a major boost in cleaning efficiency. Not only did the batteries last longer, but the charging times were reduced by more than half compared to their old machines. The hotel saw a noticeable reduction in maintenance costs, and the cleaning staff could operate more efficiently, ultimately improving the guest experience.
Feedback:
“Our maintenance costs have decreased significantly, and the staff is now able to clean more rooms with less downtime. The transition to CY’s lithium-ion machines has definitely improved our bottom line.”

Case Study 2: Retail Store Chain
Challenge:
A large retail chain with multiple locations was facing rising energy costs and inefficient cleaning operations due to the outdated lead acid batteries in their machines. They were also experiencing high replacement costs and frequent downtime, which impacted the efficiency of their cleaning team.
Solution:
After consulting with our team, we suggested switching to lithium-ion powered scrubbers to address both their cleaning and energy concerns. Our commercial floor cleaning equipment with lithium-ion batteries offered fast charging, more working hours, and minimal maintenance needs.
Results:
The retail chain quickly noticed the difference. The lithium-ion batteries allowed them to clean larger areas in less time, and they were able to cut down on the frequency of battery replacements. This led to a direct reduction in operational costs. Their cleaning team was able to focus more on the job and less on managing equipment downtime.
Feedback:
“Switching to CY’s lithium-ion batteries has been a game-changer. We’re saving both time and money, and our stores have never looked cleaner. We couldn’t be happier with the performance of these machines.”

C. Battery Technology Comparison: Lead Acid vs. Lithium-Ion
When it comes to choosing the right battery for your floor cleaning machines, understanding the differences between lead acid and lithium-ion batteries is crucial. Let’s break down the key features of each type.
Lead Acid Batteries:
These have been the standard for many years, and while they are still used widely, there are some trade-offs to consider.
- Advantages:
- Lower initial cost: Lead acid batteries are more affordable upfront, which may be appealing for businesses on a tight budget.
- Proven technology: Lead acid batteries are a well-known and reliable option for low-to-moderate cleaning needs.
- Limitations:
- Shorter lifespan: Lead acid batteries typically last between 500-800 charge cycles before performance begins to decline.
- Longer charging times: These batteries can take up to 9 hours to reach 90% charge, meaning more downtime for your cleaning operations.
- Maintenance required: Regular water refills and monitoring are necessary to keep the batteries functioning optimally.
Lithium-Ion Batteries (LFP):
Lithium-ion batteries, particularly those using LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) technology, are changing the game for industrial cleaning equipment.
- Advantages:
- Longer lifespan: These batteries can last between 3,000 and 10,000 charge cycles, making them a much better investment for long-term use.
- Faster charging: Lithium-ion batteries charge up to 90% in just 6 hours, allowing your cleaning teams to get back to work quickly.
- Low maintenance: There’s no need for water refills or complex maintenance, making them incredibly user-friendly and cost-effective over time.
- Energy-efficient: These batteries consume less energy, saving you money on your electricity bill.
- Limitations:
- Higher upfront cost: While the initial price is higher, the long-term savings and performance often outweigh this initial investment.

Comparison Table:
Feature | Lead Acid Battery | Lithium-Ion Battery (LFP) |
---|---|---|
Lifespan | 500-800 cycles | 3,000 – 10,000 cycles |
Charging Time | 9 hours to 90% capacity | 6 hours to 90% capacity |
Maintenance | High (water refills, checks) | Low (no maintenance needed) |
Cost | Lower upfront cost | Higher upfront cost |
Energy Efficiency | Moderate | High |
D. Sustainability: Supporting Green Initiatives
As businesses become increasingly conscious of their environmental footprint, choosing lithium-ion batteries for your floor cleaning equipment can play a significant role in reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability.
CY Cleaning Equipment is committed to environmental responsibility, and our lithium-ion batteries are a key part of our green initiative. Unlike lead acid batteries, which require frequent disposal and contribute to hazardous waste, lithium-ion batteries are more environmentally friendly and have a longer service life, leading to less waste over time. By reducing the frequency of battery replacements, businesses can lower their environmental impact while still achieving high cleaning performance.
