Deep Cycle Forklift Batteries

Forklift batteries are deep cycle batteries and for this reason, they can be discharged to lower levels without causing damage.

Forklift batteries are much like the lead acid batteries you see in cars, although forklift batteries are much heavier, larger, and more difficult to repair or recondition.

Are forklift batteries deep cycle?

Forklift batteries are much like the lead acid batteries you see in cars, although forklift batteries are much heavier, larger, and more difficult to repair or recondition.

The humble forklift or industrial battery used in electric forklifts or pallet jacks. It’s simply an incredibly durable, incredibly large, and amazingly cost-effective deep-cycle lead-acid battery.

Forklift batteries come in a variety of voltages (12, 24, 36, or 48) and sizes (from 1,000 pounds to several thousand pounds). They are available from local industrial battery suppliers or from the manufacturer.

The lead plates in a forklift battery are much thicker and should last much longer than any battery.

The battery is made up of 2-volt cells, all packed in a sturdy metal case and joined with metal bars in the proper configuration to add up to the voltage indicated on the label.

When used with a forklift every day, these batteries typically last no more than seven or eight years, but the expected lifespan is up to 15 or more than 20 years when used with a renewable energy system, with proper maintenance. and without deep discharges.
