83.2V Lithium Battery For Counterbalance forklift

83.2V Lithium Battery For Counterbalance forklift

•83.2V lithium battery systems would only work as direct replacements in counterbalance forklifts specifically designed to operate on an 83.2V power system. Not all counterbalance forklifts use this voltage, so verify your forklift’s requirements first.

•Check with the counterbalance forklift manufacturer about 83.2V lithium battery compatibility before installing them. Provide the battery specifications so they can determine if all components will properly function, and follow any recommendations they provide.

•Choose a premium 83.2V lithium battery system specifically designed for high-power electric forklift applications. Lesser quality lithium batteries will not have the power, durability or safety features required for an 83.2V counterbalance forklift system.

•Work with the lithium battery supplier to determine the right capacity (kWh) based on your forklift model’s power demands and runtime requirements. An 83.2V system will require an extremely high-capacity battery, likely 150 kWh or more for most counterbalance forklifts.

•The 83.2V lithium batteries must come with an advanced Battery Management System to monitor voltage, temperature and charge for safety. The BMS helps prevent issues that could impact power, performance or stability under maximum load capacity.

•A heavy-duty 83.2V lithium charger specifically designed for high-voltage electric forklift systems will be required. Charging an 83.2V lithium battery system can take 24 hours or more using a standard charger. The fast charger must be properly rated to charge an 83.2V system without damage.

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

•An 83.2V lithium battery system will be extremely heavy, even compared to most lead-acid forklift batteries. The batteries and additional components may require chassis modifications and adjustments to weight distribution for proper forklift operation.
