Suitable for: small & medium electric pallet jacks, light-duty electric lifts, warehouse trolleys
Working hours: 6–10 hours per full charge
Applications: supermarkets, small warehouses, light-load handling
36V Battery Series
Typical capacities: 100Ah, 150Ah, 200Ah, 300Ah
Suitable for: heavy-duty electric pallet jacks, medium & high-altitude electric lifts, large industrial handling equipment
Working hours: 8–12 hours per full charge
Applications: factory workshops, large logistics centers, heavy-load lifting
All our batteries support customization of voltage, capacity, size, connector and communication protocol.

2. Core Advantages of 24V 36V LiFePO4 Batteries

Compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, LiFePO4 batteries bring obvious improvements in efficiency, cost and safety.
① Ultra-Long Cycle Life
Cycle life: 4000–6000 cycles at 80% DOD
5–8 times longer than lead-acid batteries
Reduce battery replacement frequency and lower total operating cost
② Higher Safety for Industrial Use
LiFePO4 chemistry: stable, no fire or explosion risk
Built-in smart BMS protection: over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature
Safe for closed warehouses and industrial environments
③ Lightweight & High Efficiency
Weight: only 1/3 of lead-acid batteries with same capacity
Reduce equipment load, improve moving and lifting speed
Easy to replace and maintain
④ Stable High-Rate Discharge
Support 1C–2C continuous discharge
Maintain stable voltage under heavy load
No sudden power drop during lifting or moving
⑤ Zero Maintenance
No need to add water or check electrolyte
Support deep discharge and daily fast charging
Perfect for 24-hour uninterrupted working scenarios
⑥ Eco-Friendly & Certified
No heavy metals (lead, cadmium)
Meet CE, RoHS, UN38.3, MSDS certifications
Suitable for global export and transportation

4. How to Choose the Right 24V / 36V Battery
Follow these 4 practical tips to select the best battery for your electric pallet jack or lift:
① Confirm Voltage First
24V: light and medium-duty machines
36V: heavy-duty and high-power machines
Same voltage can directly replace lead-acid batteries
② Choose Capacity Based on Working Hours
4–6 hours: 100Ah
6–10 hours: 150Ah–200Ah
Over 10 hours or heavy load: 250Ah–300Ah
③ Match Connector & Size
Compatible with original battery compartment
No need to modify the equipment
Support customized plugs and wiring harness
④ Add Intelligent Functions As Needed
BT monitoring + APP for fleet management
Pre-heating function for cold environments
Remote diagnosis for large equipment teams

5. Application Scenarios
For Electric Pallet Jacks
24V 150Ah: light handling in supermarkets & small warehouses
36V 200Ah: heavy-load handling in factories & logistics centers
For Electric Lifts & Lifting Equipment
24V / 36V batteries with preheating: cold storage and low-temperature workshops
Batteries with BT & remote functions: smart factory fleet management

Conclusion
24V and 36V LiFePO4 batteries are the optimal power solution for electric pallet jacks, electric lifts and other industrial handling equipment. They provide longer life, higher safety, stable performance and intelligent management, helping you reduce costs and improve efficiency.
