Lithium battery solutions for electric forklifts – 24V, 48V, 72V and custom designs

Electric forklifts are increasingly being used in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers due to their quiet operation, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.

However, each forklift type has different requirements regarding voltage, capacity, battery dimensions, and discharge current. Therefore, choosing the right lithium battery solution is a crucial factor for ensuring stable forklift operation and high performance.

1. Lithium Batteries for Electric Forklifts

CHY Battery provides LiFePO4 Lithium-ion batteries for electric forklifts, suitable for various forklift models and operational needs.

Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries offer advantages such as:

• Long lifespan, over 4,000 cycles depending on usage conditions.
• Fast charging and opportunity charging during breaks.
• Stable performance during operation.
• No water maintenance required unlike lead-acid batteries.
• Integrated BMS for battery monitoring and protection.
• Suitable for forklifts operating in multiple shifts per day.

2. 24V, 48V, and 72V battery solutions for forklifts

CHY Battery offers various voltage levels to suit each type of electric forklift:

24V Lithium Battery

Suitable for small electric forklifts, electric pallet trucks, reach trucks, and equipment with corresponding power ratings.

CHY-05 brand 24V 142Ah battery

48V Lithium Battery

A popular solution for many lines of electric forklifts, reach trucks, and warehouse lifting equipment.

CHY-20 brand 48V 280Ah Lithium battery

72V Lithium Battery

Suitable for heavy-duty forklifts that require higher voltage and greater power delivery capabilities.

CHY-branded 72V 314Ah Lithium battery

In addition to 24V, 48V, and 72V, CHY Battery can design battery packs according to the actual requirements of each device.

3. Lithium battery design based on actual requirements

Not all forklifts use the same type of battery. When replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries, many factors must be considered, such as:

• Operating voltage of the vehicle.
• Required battery capacity.
• Dimensions and mounting location.
• Charging and discharge current.
• Connectors and wiring system.
• Compatible charger.
• Communication requirements between battery and vehicle.
• Actual operating conditions and duration.

CHY Battery can advise and design Lithium battery packs for each vehicle model, from identifying parameters to installation and testing before handover.
