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 - [4]. About $150/kW.
• 12-85-21 is - ReConditioned is 2169.00 USD, including freight & core credit, New is 3887.00 USD, including freight & core credit. [5].

I do not know the specific data for this question in regards to our Off-grid customers unfortunately, you would need to reach out to us at info@xpb.ca.In general, with proper care & maintenace, our batteries will last 10years+.

Understanding Battery Numbers

Divide last number by 2, multiply by the large number (capacity) to get amp hours. First number is number of cells, at 2v each gets you nominal voltage.

• 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. [6]
• Batteries are discharged 80%. [7].
• Charging before 80% discharge reduces life?
• Batteries self-discharge 4% per week - [8]
• Forklift bats are a good secret. Just get one with removable cells so you can move this into your house. [9]
