The Electric Pallet Truck with Lead-Acid Battery provides reliable, economical power for material handling operations with established charging routines. While requiring more maintenance than lithium-ion options, it remains a practical choice for businesses prioritizing proven technology and lower initial investment.

1, Proven & Reliable Power: Lead-acid batteries offer stable performance and are widely available.
2, Cost-Effective: Lower initial purchase price compared to lithium-ion battery models.
3, Simple Maintenance: Established charging and watering procedures are easy to manage.
4, Strong Performance: Suitable for single or multi-shift operations with proper battery management.
5, High Compatibility: Standard voltage systems (24V/48V) work with most existing chargers and infrastructure.

Primary Applications

1, Daily pallet movement in warehouses and logistics centers
2, Loading/unloading trucks and containers
3, Production line feeding and material transfer
4, Retail and distribution operations with regular charging routines

Q1: What is the typical lifespan of a lead-acid battery in an EPT?

A: With proper maintenance, lead-acid batteries typically last 3–5 years or about 1,000–1,500 charge cycles. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, depth of discharge, and maintenance practices.

Q2: How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

A: A complete charge usually takes 8–10 hours. Opportunity charging during breaks is possible but full periodic charges are necessary to prevent sulfation and extend battery life.

Q3: What maintenance does the lead-acid battery require?

A: Regular maintenance includes:
Checking and maintaining proper water levels with distilled water
Keeping terminals clean and tight
Ensuring complete charging cycles
Equalizing charges as recommended

Q4: Can the battery be used in multi-shift operations?

A: Yes, with proper battery management. Options include:
Using larger capacity batteries
Implementing opportunity charging during breaks
Having a battery change-out system with spare batteries

Q5: Are there safety concerns with lead-acid batteries?

A: Standard safety practices include:
Charging in well-ventilated areas (to disperse hydrogen gas)
Wearing protective equipment when handling batteries
Following proper lifting procedures due to heavy weight
Keeping sparks and flames away from charging areas

Q6: Can old batteries be recycled?

A: Yes, lead-acid batteries are highly recyclable (typically 95–99% recyclable). Most suppliers and retailers offer take-back programs for proper recycling.

Q7: What happens if the battery water level gets too low?

A: Low water levels expose plates, causing permanent damage through sulfation and overheating. This significantly reduces battery capacity and lifespan. Regular water level checks are essential.
