CHY Lithium Battery – An effective solution for Fenwick reach trucks

CHY Battery

Aug 20, 2026

In the warehousing and logistics environment, reach trucks need to operate stably and flexibly while minimizing downtime. Choosing the right battery pack not only affects operating time but also directly impacts the vehicle's utilization efficiency.

CHY Battery provides Lithium-ion LiFePO₄ battery solutions for electric forklifts, designed and installed to suit the practical usage requirements of each specific vehicle model.

Installing CHY Battery Lithium batteries for Fenwick reach trucks

In this practical project, the CHY Battery technical team carried out the installation and integration of a Lithium battery pack into a Fenwick reach truck.

The process included:

Inspecting the battery compartment and the vehicle's actual dimensions.
Checking the electrical system and connection terminals.
Determining voltage, capacity, and operating current requirements.
Designing a battery pack suitable for the installation space.
Installing the battery system and control devices.
Testing connections, operations, and safety functions.
Conducting practical trials before handover.

This is a crucial step because a Lithium battery not only needs to have the correct voltage and capacity but must also be compatible with the vehicle's electrical system, controller, and operating requirements.

⚡ Why choose Lithium batteries for electric forklifts?

Lithium-ion technology is increasingly widely used in lifting equipment and logistics. Even Fenwick-Linde offers forklift solutions using Li-ion batteries, emphasizing capabilities such as fast charging, opportunity charging during breaks, and reduced maintenance compared to lead-acid batteries.

With the CHY Battery Lithium solution, customers can look forward to:

1. 🔋 Effective usage time

Lithium batteries provide a stable power source during operation, suitable for logistics activities that require the vehicle to work continuously.

2. ⚡ Flexible charging

Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, the Lithium system can be designed to accommodate opportunity charging during breaks, helping to reduce vehicle downtime.

3. 🛡️ Intelligent BMS system

The BMS helps monitor battery status and supports safety functions such as overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short-circuit, and cell balancing protection.

4. 🔧 Reduced maintenance

Lithium batteries do not require electrolyte watering like lead-acid batteries, reducing routine maintenance work.

5. ♻️ Suitable for warehouse environments

With no watering process and fewer issues common to lead-acid batteries, Lithium batteries fit the current trend of electrifying lifting equipment.

🏭 A solution, not just a battery pack

CHY Battery does not simply provide an off-the-shelf battery pack.

We focus on battery solutions tailored to each piece of equipment:

Vehicle Survey → Electrical System Check → Energy Requirement Calculation → Battery Pack Design → Installation → Testing → Handover

This is especially important for used electric forklifts, where each vehicle may have different conditions, configurations, and operating requirements.
