1

Your truck

  • Truck brand

    Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, Yale, Caterpillar, Komatsu, or other.

  • Truck model

    From the data plate on the truck, not the battery.

  • Truck serial number (optional)

    Helps the dealer confirm the exact configuration.

2

Voltage & capacity

  • Battery voltage

    Must match the truck exactly. Check the data plate: 24V, 36V, 48V, or 80V.

  • Amp-hour (Ah) rating

    Printed on the battery data plate. Sets runtime between charges.

  • Number of batteries needed

    How many trucks are you sizing for?

3

Compartment dimensions

  • Length ____ in × Width ____ in × Height ____ in

    Measure inside the battery tray, in inches.

  • Battery weight (if known)

    The battery is part of the counterweight on counterbalance trucks.

4

Connector & charger

  • Connector type

    SB175, SB350, Euro-style, or other. Note the cable position too.

  • Charger type

    Conventional, opportunity, or fast charge — and its voltage.

  • Charger age / condition

    An old charger may need replacing with the battery.

5

How you run it

  • Shifts per day

    1, 2, or 3 — this sets the capacity and chemistry that make sense.

  • Hours per shift

    How long does the truck run between charges?

  • Opportunity charging available?

    Can the truck plug in during breaks? Yes / No.

  • Operating environment

    Indoor, outdoor, cold storage, heat, dust — each changes the spec.

6

What you want quoted

  • New battery

    Lead-acid or lithium-ion — or open to either.

  • Used / reconditioned battery

    Load-tested, for lighter duty or tight budgets.

  • Rental / lease

    Peak season, emergency coverage, or try-before-you-buy.

  • Repair / reconditioning

    Dead cells, cables, sulfation — fix instead of replace.

  • Charger

    New charger matched to the battery and chemistry.

  • Old battery removal / core credit

    Dealers usually haul the old battery away and recycle it.
