Executive summary
Compare opportunity charging, battery weight, charger compatibility and downtime before swapping lead-acid forklift packs to lithium.
Where lithium wins on the floor
Opportunity charging during breaks often removes battery-change labour. Weigh that against charger upgrades, counterweight changes and operator training. Sites with multi-shift intensive use usually see clearer payback than single-shift light duty.
Mechanical and electrical fit
Confirm tray dimensions, connector type, and whether the truck expects a certain weight for stability. BMS must speak the language of the existing charger or a matched lithium charger must be budgeted.
Pilot fleet method
Convert 2–3 trucks first. Track kWh per hour worked, unplanned downtime and charger faults for 60 days before fleet rollout.
Buyer checklist
Put temperature, load profile and protocol into the RFQ.
Request certificates and traceability for the exact PO model.
Pilot before fleet rollout.
FAQ
Can we keep the old lead-acid charger?
Only if voltage/current profiles are compatible and the BMS allows it. Many projects save more by pairing a lithium-specific charger.
