How long does a forklift traction battery last?

A well-maintained PzS delivers 1,500-2,000 cycles, roughly 5-7 years on a single daily shift; LiFePO4 lithium reaches 3,000-4,000 cycles.

Can I recharge the traction battery mid-shift?

With PzS or AGM this isn't advisable, as it shortens service life; LiFePO4 lithium does allow opportunity charging without damage.

What's the difference between PzS and industrial AGM?

PzS is flooded and needs periodic maintenance (water top-ups); AGM is sealed and maintenance-free, though with a higher upfront cost and slightly lower energy density.

Is any traction battery compatible with my forklift?

It must match the PzS/DIN cell standard, the bank voltage (24/48/80V) and the tray dimensions set by the forklift manufacturer.

Traction Batteries

Industrial traction batteries power electric forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers, lift platforms, Karcher/Hako/Tennant cleaning machines, AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and electric works vehicles. Built for very deep discharge (80-100% daily DoD) and overnight recharge, cycle after cycle for 1,500-2,000 cycles — the reference forklift battery for logistics and industry.

Three technologies: flooded lead-acid with PzS / DIN cells (24/48/80V industrial standard), industrial AGM (zero maintenance) and LiFePO4 lithium (fast charging, no emissions, ideal for multi-shift use without swapping batteries).

How to choose your forklift traction battery

The traction battery is built as a series bank of 24V (pallet trucks), 36-48V (mid forklifts) or 80V (heavy forklifts), made up of individual high-capacity 2V cells (100-1,000 Ah). The PzS / PzB / DIN standard unifies formats so any forklift manufacturer accepts any supplier.

Application	Voltage	Capacity	Technology
Electric pallet truck	24 V	150-300 Ah	Flooded PzS / AGM
Stacker	24-36 V	250-500 Ah	Flooded PzS
Mid forklift 1-2.5 t	48 V	500-700 Ah	PzS / GEL / Lithium
Heavy forklift >3 t	80 V	700-1,000 Ah	PzS / Lithium
Karcher / Tennant cleaning	24-36 V	105-240 Ah	GEL / AGM

PzS, AGM or lithium: which suits your use

Flooded PzS is the cheapest per cycle and handles 1,500-2,000 cycles with maintenance (water top-up every 1-2 weeks). Industrial AGM removes maintenance at a higher upfront cost, ideal for unventilated rooms. LiFePO4 lithium allows opportunity charging between shifts without damage, extends life to 3,000-4,000 cycles and emits no gas, though the initial investment is higher.
