V-Force Lead-Acid Forklift Batteries
Power to Count On
With a lower initial cost than other battery technologies, V-Force lead-acid batteries can provide a cost-effective power solution for a range of duty cycles, including multi-shift operations. Pair with a V-Force charger for a fully integrated solution.
Flat Plate Lead-Acid Forklift Batteries
This traditional time-tested battery design for electric
lift trucks features:
- Robust design for durability in rough applications
- More active material for greater performance and capacity
- Heavy grid construction to limit corrosion
- Five-layer wrap to minimize positive active material shedding
- Lower initial cost
Tubular Lead-Acid Forklift Batteries
This advanced lead-acid technology increases the surface area of
active material, improving productivity and extending runtimes for
multi-shift applications.
Tubular batteries also feature:
- Flexible bolt-on inter-cell cable connectors for easy maintenance,
higher current delivery with less internal resistance and lower
operating temperatures - Fully insulated flex connectors and post bolts to reduce arcing and
lead exposure
- V-LA1120 Series – Standard Low Maintenance cells that hold more water, reducing watering frequency and maintenance costs
- V-LA1130 Series – High Capacity cells for increased run time for high duty cycle applications
