How can forklift batteries help your business?

  • Forklift batteries can help your business in a number of ways. First and foremost, they provide reliable power for your forklifts, allowing them to operate efficiently and effectively. Forklift batteries are designed to provide consistent power over a long period of time, so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice midway through a job.
  • In addition to ensuring reliable operation, forklift batteries can also help your business save money. By switching to electric forklifts powered by batteries, you can reduce your fuel costs and lower your carbon footprint. Electric forklifts are generally more efficient than gas or diesel-powered models, meaning you can get more work done with the same amount of energy.
  • Finally, forklift batteries can improve safety in your workplace. Because they produce zero emissions, electric forklifts are better suited for indoor use than gas or diesel-powered models. They also tend to be quieter and easier to operate, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries on the job.
  • Overall, investing in high-quality forklift batteries can be a smart move for any business that relies on material handling equipment to get the job done.

How Long do Forklift Batteries Last?

The lifespan of a forklift battery depends on several factors, including the type and size of the battery, how often it is used, and how well it is maintained. Typically, forklift batteries can last anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 charge cycles, which translates to about 5 years of use. However, with proper maintenance and care, some batteries may last even longer. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for your specific battery and to monitor its performance regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly. Signs that your forklift battery may need replacement include reduced run time, slow charging times, or issues with overheating or other damage. When it comes time to replace your forklift battery, be sure to choose a high-quality replacement that is compatible with your machine and meets your performance needs.

How long do forklift batteries last?

Experience shows that 90% of batteries last only 3 to 4 years.

Don’t let that happen! Choose long-lasting deep-cycle batteries from Microtex. Dependable lead acid battery capacity so you can get the complete performance of over 5 years. Your return on investment in Microtex Limitless traction batteries ensures the long term cost is way lower.

What is the cost of forklift battery?

Special designer lead alloys, with super additives, tin, low-antimony, arsenic, ensuring a really long life for your Microtex Limitless™ Forklift battery. In addition, we add nucleating agents like selenium,  sulfur & copper to ensure the lead electrodes do not corrode for a long time, ensuring a very long life. The addition of nucleating agents gives the grids a fine-grained structure with good corrosion resistance as otherwise, the coarse dendritic structure will be prone to hot cracking and porosity.

Most warehousing operations will use lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries as their primary battery types to power their forklifts.
The electrical energy cost for charging one forklift at a rate of 4 cents per kWh is $490, which translates to $4896 for all ten forklifts.
How Long Do Forklift Batteries Last? Forklift batteries don’t last forever; a standard lead-acid forklift battery can produce approximately 1,500 charging cycles for a single-shift operation (if the battery is properly maintained).


The standard cell arrangement for 12 volt forklift batteries (6 cells) is a single row of 6 cells; for 24 volts (12 cells), it is either two rows of 6 cell each or three rows of 4 cells each; and for 32 volts (16 cells), there are three rows each.

Battery Mistakes All Forklift Owners Need To Avoid!

Do not mix new cells into old batteries

Forklift Battery recondition: often reconditioning an old battery can become quite a costly affair if you keep replacing dead cells one by one; even the new cell will drain out rapidly as the old cells tend to draw more out of the new one. 

Forklift replacement batteries: It is best to have an expert from the company visit you to have a thorough inspection of the forklift trucks battery after a complete charge, compare the cell voltage, specific gravity

Avoid any sort of additives or desulfation methods

How to recondition forklift batteries? Batteries are electro-chemical devices. All chemicals have a half-life period beyond which regeneration with chemical additives or desulfators for batteries have little effect if any temporary. 

The normal mode of failure of traction batteries is usually due to grid corrosion if the lead alloys are not designed properly. Desulfators cannot repair corroded grids.
