25.6V Lithium Battery For Stacker Truck

25.6V Lithium Battery For Stacker truck

•25.6V lithium batteries would likely only work as direct replacements in stacker trucks specifically rated to operate on a 25.6V power system. Not all stackers use this voltage, so verify your truck’s requirements first.

•As always, check with the stacker truck manufacturer about lithium battery compatibility before installing them. Provide the battery specifications so they can determine if components will properly function, and follow any recommendations they provide.

•Choose a high-quality 25.6V lithium battery that is specifically designed for use in electric industrial vehicles and material handling equipment. Lesser quality lithium batteries likely will not have the power, durability or safety features required for this application.

•Work with the lithium battery supplier to determine the right capacity (amp-hours) based on your stacker model’s power demands. Not all 25.6V lithium batteries will provide enough runtime between charges for operating a stacker. Higher Ah ratings will allow for more work time per charge.

•The 25.6V lithium batteries must come with a Battery Management System to monitor voltage, temperature and charge for safety. The BMS helps prevent issues like overcharging, deep discharging, overheating and short circuits.

•Check if your existing 25.6V charger is compatible with lithium batteries or if a new lithium-specific charger is required. The charger must provide the proper charging profiles for lithium batteries based on voltage and capacity. An incompatible charger could damage the batteries or reduce their lifespan.

•Be aware that switching from lead-acid to lithium batteries could void equipment warranties or require recertifying the truck. Check with your stacker truck dealer for any impacts to the vehicle warranty, service contracts or licensing.
