The Problem: Lead-Acid Downtime Costs Money

If your operation runs multiple shifts, lead-acid batteries often create hidden costs.

Swaps & Handling

Battery swaps and battery room handling require dedicated labor and space.

Long Charging

Long charging cycles and mandatory cooling time reduce asset utilization.

Safety Risks

Watering, corrosion, and electrolyte spill risk endanger staff and equipment.

Inconsistent Power

Inconsistent runtime as batteries age affects lifting speed and travel.

What buyers want instead: predictable uptime, simpler maintenance, and a safer, more controlled battery program.

The Outcome: What a LiFePO4 Retrofit Can Change

Note:

Fitment and charger compatibility must be confirmed during engineering review.

A LiFePO4 battery program can enable:

  • Opportunity charging during breaks to keep trucks running
  • Zero watering and reduced maintenance tasks
  • More stable voltage delivery under load
  • Cleaner battery areas (no acid handling workflows)

What STEC Supports

Equipment Types

  • Class III walkies / pallet jacks / stackers
  • Warehouse electric trucks (reach trucks, order pickers)
  • Counterbalance electric forklifts (engineering review required)

Common Voltage Ranges

  • 24V / 36V / 48V (most common for warehouse MHE)
  • 80V (engineering review required)

Delivery Models

  • Drop-in replacement format (standard tray form factors where applicable)
  • Custom enclosure / rack solutions
  • Custom cables / connectors (e.g., SB-style quick connects, Euro/DIN-style where applicable)
  • Rugged Design

    Shock-resistant casing and secure interconnects designed to endure vibration and impacts on construction sites.

  • Consistent Power Curve

    Maintains a flat discharge curve, ensuring your tool works at near-peak performance until the battery is depleted.

  • Extended Cycle Life

    Rated for 500+ charge cycles at 80% capacity retention under normal use. Operational range: -20°C to +60°C.

  • High Discharge Rate

    Supports continuous high-current draw (15C or ~45A per cell). Zero lag in torque for heavy-duty applications.

  • Minimal Heat Buildup

    Low internal resistance cells and smart design result in excellent heat control, extending service life.

  • Intelligent BMS

    Monitors cell health, balance, and temperature. Provides safety cut-offs for over-charge, over-discharge, and current spikes.

Inside Matters: Why Tier-1 Cells Change Procurement Confidence

Many buyers cannot verify what cells are inside a "black-box" battery. STEC's approach is procurement-friendly:

  • Genuine Tier-1 brand cells

    (Samsung / LG / Panasonic / Murata / Molicel / EVE, as applicable)

  • Lot traceability support for B2B projects

  • Incoming QC screening

    before assembly to improve batch consistency across bulk orders

  • Documentation provided upon request

    for compliance workflows

Critical Engineering Check: Battery Weight & Stability

Forklift batteries are not only energy sources—on many trucks they also act as counterweight.

TO AVOID SAFETY AND STABILITY ISSUES, WE CONFIRM:

  • Truck voltage and compartment constraints
  • Minimum/maximum battery service weight shown on the truck nameplate
  • Connector/cable routing requirements
  • Application duty cycle (single shift / multi-shift / cold storage)

Send us: data plate photo + current battery label photo + battery compartment photo for fast review.

Typical Buyer Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a new charger?

Lithium batteries require an appropriate charging profile. We confirm charger compatibility during engineering review and can recommend a matching solution if needed.

Will a lighter lithium battery affect stability?

For applications where battery weight functions as counterweight, we verify the truck nameplate requirements and engineer the solution accordingly.

What’s your MOQ?

We support both sampling and bulk programs. MOQ depends on configuration and integration requirements.

Can you support custom cables and connectors?

Yes—connector and cable routing are defined during the specification review stage.

What documents can you provide?

UN38.3 transport documentation and SDS/MSDS can be provided upon request for procurement and shipping compliance workflows.

Warranty and after-sales?

Warranty terms depend on configuration and duty cycle. We define warranty scope in the quotation and supply agreement.
