Even a better article now, in favour of VRB now that we know the dynamic braking of an elevator can capture and store the energy for later use or put it back in the grid.Same could apply for a forklift...every down stroke of the fork lift could be dynamically braked to put energy into vrb for later use.Same could apply for escalators and many hydraulic applications also down ward leg of conveyer belts...Ho ho Ho lead acid battery's are from grampa's day.

Excerpt..

<<There's another downside to the battery model. Each battery, when fully charged, is supposed to keep the forklift productive for as long as eight hours. But like a tape recorder working on AA batteries, the machine becomes sluggish as the battery runs down. For an electric forklift, this drop in power is noticeable within five or six hours and reduces productivity before the end of a normal shift.>>
