# Traction Batteries > Traction batteries 24V, 48V, 80V for forklift, pallet truck, stacker and industrial cleaning. PzS, AGM and LiFePO4 lithium. Trojan, Fullriver, MK. **Category:** [Start](https://baterias.com/gb/beginning) → [Batteries](https://baterias.com/gb/batteries) - **Canonical URL**: https://baterias.com/gb/traction-batteries - **Language**: en-GB ## Description **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.
