PowerBase

by Lion Power

The PowerBase is a fully autonomous power installation designed to eliminate manual battery handling and keep your fleet productive around the clock.

The System
One platform. Expand as you grow.
Every PowerBase includes the exchange robot and facility command center. Add ionBays as your fleet grows — the platform scales without replacing anything.
Up to 180
Forklifts supported per PowerBase
Expand with one to four ionBays
24/7
Three-shift continuous operation

The Platform

PowerBase
The Platform
One robot. One command center. Everything included.

The PowerBase platform is the complete exchange cell: the robotic exchange system, safety fencing and sensors, the software control system, site infrastructure, and the Platform Control Rack — with ready openings for chargers and batteries. Nothing to integrate, nothing to retrofit. It runs the facility as its command center from day one.

PowerBase Batteries
ionCore
Unified Battery Architecture — Fleetwide Compatibility

ionCore is the battery your forklifts run on and the PowerBase manages — one unified lithium format for the shared pool your entire fleet draws from. Any charged battery serves any truck, from pallet jacks to sit-down counterbalance forklifts, so there is nothing truck-specific to stock or stage — the platform charges, rotates, and health-tracks the whole pool for you.

PowerBase Charging
ionBay
Expansion Racks — Charge Bays and Chargers

Each ionBay holds a share of the battery pool and keeps it charged. Batteries are staged, health-tracked, and rotated under active management, so a charged ionCore is always ready before the next forklift arrives — and charging is scheduled to stay clear of peak demand.

PowerBase Telematics
ionSight
Complete Telemetry Solution

ionSight is the telematics system of the PowerBase — providing fleet operators with real-time visibility into every exchange event, battery state-of-health, charge cycles, and energy draw across their entire operation. Live data flows from every ionCore battery and the exchange robot directly to the ionSight dashboard, turning raw operational data into actionable intelligence.

01
Real-time power insights
Track battery usage, exchange times, and system efficiency live. Identify inefficiencies and opportunities to reduce downtime before they impact operations.
02
Battery health monitoring
Cell-level telemetry from every ionCore battery streams into ionSight continuously — giving your team a live picture of state-of-health, remaining capacity, and cycle history across the entire fleet.
03
Energy consumption analytics
Understand exactly when and where your operation draws power. Use ionSight data to optimize charging schedules, identify inefficiencies, and reduce utility costs through smarter energy management.
04
Proactive alerts and diagnostics
ionSight monitors every connected component continuously and surfaces alerts before issues become failures — reducing unplanned downtime and keeping your operation moving.
