Forklift Lead-Acid Batteries

Q: Can I upgrade my lead-acid battery to a lithium battery later?

Absolutely. All Baufar lead-acid batteries are upgrade-ready . You can switch to LiFePO4 lithium-ion forklift battery in the future for longer life (up to 3500 cycles), shorter charging time (2–3 hours), and zero maintenance.

Why Lead-Acid Batteries Are Still a Smart Choice

Proven & Reliable

Lead-acid technology has powered industries for decades. With stable performance and trusted reliability, it delivers electric advantages at a lower initial cost—perfect for cost-conscious operations.

Easy & Compatible

Baufar fork truck battery feature easy electrolyte refilling, simple maintenance, and multiple international certifications (ISO, CE, GB/T). Each pack fits seamlessly with major forklift brands and models.

Upgrade-Ready

When efficiency matters, upgrading to custom LiFePO4 lithium battery is simple. Baufar designs ensure smooth conversion with compatible chargers for safe and efficient charging.

Performance Curves & Battery Life

Charging Time Curve

Stage 1: Constant current with gradual voltage increase (2.1 V → 2.4 V)

Stage 2: Voltage rises rapidly near full charge (up to 2.7 V per cell)

Balances fast charging and safety, ideal for daily forklift operation

Discharge Curve at Different Time Rates

Stable voltage output at moderate discharge rates (3 hr / 5 hr)

Fast voltage decline under heavy load (0.5 hr / 1 hr) reflects high current stress

Reliable performance for single-shift or standard warehouse operations

Cycle Life vs. Depth of Discharge (DOD)

Shallower discharge = longer cycle life

Deep discharge increases plate stress and shortens lifespan

Best practice: keep discharge depth within 70–80% for long-term reliability
