The 36V 690Ah forklift lithium battery is a high-capacity energy storage solution designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. Using LiFePO4 chemistry, it offers superior cycle life (typically 6,000 cycles) and thermal stability compared to lead-acid alternatives. With a 36-volt nominal voltage and 24.84kWh energy capacity, it supports extended operation in material handling equipment. Advanced BMS ensures overcharge/discharge protection, while IP65-rated enclosures enable reliable performance in warehouse environments. 36V 700Ah/690Ah Forklift Lithium Battery
What technical specs define the 36V 690Ah battery?
This system features 36V nominal voltage with 690Ah capacity through LiFePO4 cell stacking. Its 1C discharge rate sustains 690A peak current for high-torque forklift operations. Pro Tip: Use compatible 42V max chargers to prevent BMS tripping during CC-CV charging cycles.
With 24.84kWh total energy, the battery supports 8-10 hour shifts in Class III forklifts. The modular design enables 700Ah configurations through parallel expansion. Unlike lead-acid alternatives requiring weekly water refills, its sealed construction eliminates maintenance. For example, in -20°C cold storage, preheating circuits maintain ≥80% capacity versus lead-acid’s 50% drop. Warning: Always verify terminal polarity—reverse connections can instantly fry BMS boards.

How does cycle life compare to lead-acid?
LiFePO4 chemistry provides 6,000 cycles at 80% DoD versus 1,200 cycles for flooded lead-acid. This equates to 7+ years vs 18-month replacement cycles. Pro Tip: Calendar aging still occurs—store at 50% charge if inactive >3 months.
| Parameter | 36V 690Ah LiFePO4 | Lead-Acid Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 6,000 cycles | 1,200 cycles |
| Energy Density | 140Wh/kg | 40Wh/kg |
| Charge Time | 2.5hrs (0-100%) | 8+ hours |
What safety certifications apply?
Units meet UN38.3, UL1973, and IEC62619 standards for shock/vibration resistance. Multi-layer protection includes cell-level fusing and smoke detection. For example, in thermal runaway scenarios, venting channels redirect gases away from operators. Practically speaking, this allows OSHA-compliant deployment in food processing facilities.

FAQs
Yes, but requires voltage compatibility checks—some 36V systems actually use 33V cutoffs. Always upgrade charging infrastructure simultaneously.
What’s the weight reduction vs lead-acid?
≈58% lighter—690Ah LiFePO4 weighs 180kg vs 430kg for equivalent lead-acid, reducing forklift energy consumption by 18-22%.
