"With the addition of lithium-ion battery technology, the T12 and T16 scrubbers deliver trusted Tennant performance with significant added benefits, including extended battery lifespan, reduced maintenance, and enhanced operator safety,” said Dennis Collins, Product Portfolio Director at Tennant. "Lithium-ion batteries are more energy efficient, reducing energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions. This offering aligns with many of our customers’ sustainability goals, helping them achieve more sustainable cleaning practices.”

Equipped with high-capacity batteries, the new lithium-ion T12 and T16 models deliver extended runtimes ranging from over three to nearly six hours, outperforming standard lead-acid battery runtimes. This ensures consistent cleaning performance across large spaces, giving operators the flexibility to choose the right battery option to meet their facility’s needs.

The advancements align with Tennant’s Thriving People. Healthy Planet. sustainability framework, a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gases in operations and supply chain by 2040. Launched in 2023, the framework starts with the foundational interconnection between people and planet and provides the lens through which Tennant can set goals, align plans, and integrate sustainability across its business. The framework encompasses six key impact areas where Tennant can create change, including climate and energy. By integrating sustainability into product design and development, Tennant continually strives to increase the energy efficiency of products to offer customers solutions that will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the use of Tennant products, helping them achieve their sustainability goals. This includes developing products powered by lithium-ion batteries, which offer numerous operational and environmental benefits, including:

• Improved Uptime: Lithium-ion batteries allow opportunity charging; customers can plug in the robotic scrubber any time, even if the battery isn’t fully discharged. This offers increased uptime of the machine, without risk of degrading the battery.
• Simplified Operations: A maintenance-free battery that does not require watering helps simplify operator training and reduces the risk of operator misuse and abuse.
• Reduced Costs: Eliminating battery watering and allowing opportunity charging help deliver operational cost savings. With a 2,000 or more charge cycle lifespan, lithium-ion batteries reduce battery replacement costs.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: Lithium-ion batteries offer increased energy storage efficiency, leading to lower overall energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

"Adding lithium-ion powered T12 and T16 scrubbers is a significant step in our journey to reinvent how the world cleans,” Collins said. "These new models support our mission to create a cleaner, safer, and healthier world by empowering cleaning teams to work more safely and efficiently.”

Tennant’s lithium-ion T12 and T16 floor scrubbers will be available for purchase December 10, 2024. Additional information about Tennant’s battery options can be found here. To learn more about Tennant’s commitment to sustainability click here.
