Still Dominating: Why Lead Acid Batteries Remain the Backbone of Forklift Power

While there is a lot of chatter right now about lithium-ion batteries, lead acid batteries are still the most common forklift batteries on the market, comprising somewhere between 90 and 95% of electric forklift power cells. Consequently, lead acid batteries aren't going away anytime soon. So if you've been wondering whether your lead acid forklifts will soon be obsolete, fear not. Many manufacturers are indeed making the shift to focus exclusively on lithium-ion. However, we've stepped in to fill the gap by producing our own line of new and rebuilt lead acid batteries. Read on to learn more about how these batteries benefit your forklifts and your business.

Quality Replacement Forklift Batteries

When it comes to your electric forklift battery replacement, you need a solution you can rely on to power your lift trucks consistently throughout the shift. That's why we've invested heavily in our batteries, ensuring they deliver the quality and performance you expect, every time.

• Power. Our batteries use a low antimonial grid design. This provides the greatest power while reducing internal resistance to the lowest possible levels.
• Our batteries are designed for longevity. With oversized grids, they maintain full power capacity and performance over the entire life span of the battery. You can trust that there’s no fading in our batteries, providing you with consistent power for your forklifts.
• No Internal Shorts. We use the highest quality plastic and fiberglass parts as insulators, eliminating the risk of internal shorting.
• Fast Charging. Our batteries feature an oversized post and bridge design. This reduces resistance and keeps the battery running cooler, making it suitable for opportunity and rapid charging applications.
• Protected. A 5-year warranty protects each of our batteries, ensuring you get the reliability you deserve.

Sustainable Batteries for Forklifts

Despite the perception of lead acid batteries as hazardous, they are actually highly sustainable. In fact, 99% of all lead acid batteries are recycled, a significantly higher rate than the 15% of lithium-ion batteries. This long-standing recycling process, in place for over a century, keeps more than 160 million lead acid batteries out of landfills each year in the US, making them a responsible choice for your forklift power needs.

We take sustainability seriously when producing new forklift batteries. Modern recycling technologies allow us to infinitely recycle the lead from lead-acid batteries without any loss of performance. This allows us to use up to 80% recycled materials when producing a new forklift battery. We believe this commitment to sustainability is vital in your forklift power solutions partner. After all, we all have one planet to share.

Rebuilt Lead Acid Forklift Batteries

On the topic of sustainability, a new forklift battery is not always the best option. Often, it is more cost-effective to have your existing battery rebuilt rather than replaced. Refurbished forklift batteries return to the same level of reliable performance as a new forklift battery but at a fraction of the cost, making them a perfect solution for organizations that value sustainability or are looking to boost efficiency without overspending. Our batteries undergo a rigorous quality assurance process to ensure they meet our high bar for safety and reliability.
