Forklift Battery

• 600lb, 6 kwhr at 6 hour rate. $1050. [1]
• 1200 lb, 340ah at 6 he at 48v = 17 kwhr, $3000 - [2]
• 510 ah, 48v , 24 kwhr, $4k new - [3]
• 12-125-17 - 1000AH, 24V - 24kWhr - $3649 - $100/kWhr [4]. About $150/kW.

Understanding Battery Numbers

Divide last number by 2, multiply by the large number (capacity)

• First is number of cells
• Second is the capacity multiplier
• Third number derives the capacity

Understanding Forklift Battery Capacityu

• Nameplate rating * 80% should be the usable capacity. [5]
• Batteries are discharged 80%. [6].
• Charging before 80% discharge reduces life?
• Batteries self-discharge 4% per week - [7]
• Forklift bats are a good secret. Just get one with removable cells so you can move this into your house. [8]
