How to find the right pallet truck battery 

Our replacement batteries maximise productivity in warehousing and logistics. Depending on the model, they either extend the weighing function runtime on hand pallet trucks with scales or provide maximum operational flexibility for your electric pallet truck. This ensures your equipment remains operational when you need it most.

At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you'll find maintenance-free replacement batteries for various pallet truck models and capacities. We stock everything from cost-effective lead-gel batteries to long-lasting lithium-ion batteries with interim charging capability. Whether you need a spare battery for occasional use or a high-performance solution for intensive operations, we have the right option for you.

1. The advantages of having a replacement pallet truck battery

Replacement battery systems significantly increase the efficiency of our electric pallet trucks and pallet trucks with scales, offering decisive advantages over permanently installed batteries.

  • The practical plug-in system enables tool-free replacement in seconds. At only approximately 8 kg, the low weight of lithium-ion batteries makes replacement even easier.
  • While using one electric pallet truck battery, you can simultaneously charge the second battery with the external charger. This ensures maximum flexibility and increases pallet truck availability and productivity.
  • Charge flexibly at any standard 230-volt socket. Since both lithium-ion and lead-gel batteries are maintenance-free and gas-free, dedicated battery charging stations with ventilation systems aren't required.

2. Choosing between lead-gel batteries and lithium-ion batteries

Finding the right battery type will impact your pallet truck's performance, maintenance requirements and cost-effectiveness. Our replacement pallet truck batteries are available with two different battery technologies. Each technology is suited to specific pallet truck models.

Feature Lithium-ion battery Lead-gel battery
Life cycle

Long-lasting, with approximately 500-3,000 charging cycles, depending on model

Comparatively low: approximately 500-800 charging cycles, depending on model

Energy efficiency

Up to 90% usable battery capacity (depending on type), no memory effect

Up to 60% usable battery capacity, slight memory effect

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance-free, correct storage required (avoid fire hazard), 100% gas-free

Maintenance-free, low-gassing due to sealed battery system

Charging time

Approximately 2-5 hours

Approximately 12 hours

Interim charging

Possible at any time without memory effect

Interim charging reduces service life

Please note: When replacing a pallet truck battery , ensure the replacement battery is approved by the manufacturer for your specific vehicle. Only replace a battery when the pallet truck is safely parked and switched off. Ensure the battery fully engages with the plug-in system of the battery compartment during replacement.
