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)

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)
