Battery cells for forklift batteries

Q: How can you identify defective cells in a forklift battery?

Typical signs are unequal cell voltages , increased warming , low acid density or excessive gassing individual chambers. With a Cell voltage tester (Under load) the condition of each cell can be measured. If a cell is significantly below 2 V, it is usually defective. sulfated or damaged .

Q: Is it possible to replace individual cells in a forklift battery?

Yes, defective cells can individually replaced will be possible – provided the battery tray, connections, and electrolyte are in good condition overall. However, the replacement should only be carried out by a qualified electrician. specialist company This is necessary because the new cell must match the rest of the battery exactly (capacity, voltage, form factor, terminal arrangement). Then a Equalizing charge for cell harmonization.

Q: How do you properly maintain forklift battery cells?

Important care steps include: Regular Water level check and refilling with distilled water Maintenance charges Avoid deep discharge cleaning of cell connectors and terminal clamps pH control and visual inspection for corrosion Semi-annual EIS analysis or capacity test. These measures prevent sulfation and keep the internal resistance low.

Q: When is it worthwhile to replace individual cells instead of a new battery?

If less than 20–25% of the cells If the components are defective and the other values remain stable, it is worthwhile to... Cell replacement economically viable In cases of multiple damaged chambers, severe electrolyte loss, or distorted cell geometry, a [replacement/treatment] is usually necessary. complete regeneration or new purchase more sensible.

Q: How do I determine the cell type of my forklift battery?

The cell type is usually indicated on the Type plate or is directly imprinted on the cells – for example as “3 PzS 375” or “5 PzS 625” . The first number indicates the Number of cells (2 V each), so also the battery voltage. "PzS" stands for armored traction cell (classic wet battery). The last number shows the Capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) This way you can quickly identify which cell types and replacement modules are compatible with your battery.

Battery cells for forklift batteries

Replace or supplement defective cells in your forklift battery selectively – with our high-qualityBattery cells for forklifts and industrial trucks.

Here you will find bothnewas well astested used cellsin all common types. This way your devices will be restored.full performance and maximum lifespan– without unnecessary costs.

What are forklift battery cells?

Battery cellsform the heart of everyTraction battery.

Each cell supplies a portion of the total voltage – in classic lead-acid systems, around2 volts per unit.

If individual cells are weakened or damaged, this has a direct impact onCapacity, charging time and lifespanthe entire battery.

With aCell replacementYou can restore performance – without having to buy a completely new battery.

Advantages of cell replacement in forklift batteries

Flexibility:Replace only the defective cells – for cost-effective maintenance.
Quality:All used cells are replaced withC5 capacitance testtested and only released if performance is flawless.
Fit:DifferentVoltage levels from 12 V to 80 VThey can be freely combined.
Sustainability:By selectively replacing cells, you conserve resources and reduce waste.
Fast delivery:Cells areavailable immediately from stockAvailable – usually within a few days at your location.

New and used battery cells – tested and documented

WhetherPzS traction cells,PzB forklift cellsorMaintenance-free gel cells (PzV)– every used cell undergoes a process at our companytechnical testing including impedance measurement and C5 test.

Only cells withat least 80% of nominal capacityare resold. This is how we ensure that your battery is returned to its original condition.reliable, safe and durableworks.

When is it worthwhile to replace individual cells?

ACell replacementIt is always economically viable when less than a quarter of the cells are affected.

In cases of severe sulfation or cell damage, we will gladly advise you on aregenerationorcomplete replacement battery.

Häufige Fragen und Antworten zu Battery cells

What are forklift battery cells and how are they constructed?

A forklift battery consists of several individual components.Lead-acid cells, each of which is approximately2 voltsdeliver. A 48-volt battery therefore contains 24 cells connected together in a metal casing. Each cell consists of positive and negative plates, an electrolyte (a sulfuric acid-water mixture), and a housing made of hard rubber or polypropylene.

How can you identify defective cells in a forklift battery?

Typical signs areunequal cell voltages,increased warming,low acid densityorexcessive gassingindividual chambers. With aCell voltage tester(Under load) the condition of each cell can be measured. If a cell is significantly below 2 V, it is usually defective.sulfated or damaged.

Then aEqualizing chargefor cell harmonization.

How long do forklift battery cells last on average?

With proper maintenance, traction cells typically reach a maximum height of...1,200 to 1,800 charging cycles, which corresponds to a service life of5 to 8 yearscorresponds to factors such asDeep discharges, high temperatures, lack of maintenance, or sulfationHowever, this can significantly shorten its lifespan. Regular maintenance considerably extends its durability.
