THE SPEC EXPLAINER

Lithium-Ion vs. Lead-Acid Pallet Jack Batteries

Lithium-ion packs can support fast/opportunity charging and require less routine battery maintenance; lead-acid is mature and often less expensive initially but may require watering, ventilation and longer charging routines.

Match chemistry to the shift pattern

Multi-shift operations benefit when a battery can be topped up during breaks. A small warehouse using the jack for 30 minutes a day may never recover the premium for lithium.

Look beyond the battery price

Compare charger cost, expected cycle life, maintenance labor, replacement policy and cold-temperature performance. Use only the battery chemistry and charger approved for the truck.
