Jungheinrich stacker and forklift batteries

Knowing these differences is key to selecting the right battery and ensuring compatibility with each truck model.

Jungheinrich electric forklifts can be equipped with either original manufacturer's batteries or compatible versions manufactured by specialized companies. Both options offer safe and efficient operation, as long as the same electrical and mechanical parameters of the equipment are respected.

At Rebatex, through our Voltem brand, we develop traction batteries that are fully compatible with Jungheinrich models, meeting the quality and safety standards required by the European standard EN/IEC 60254. These batteries match the performance of the original ones and offer additional advantages such as customized manufacturing, local maintenance and a more competitive cost.

To ensure compatibility with each model, the following technical parameters must match:

Choosing a certified and correctly sized battery ensures safe installation, consistent performance and long service life for Jungheinrich electric forklifts.

The traction battery is the element that determines the actual performance of a Jungheinrich electric truck. Its capacity, voltage and condition directly influence lifting power, working autonomy and operational safety.

An adequate and well-maintained battery keeps the traction force constant throughout the day, reducing charging times and avoiding unnecessary stops. On the other hand, a deteriorated or inadequate battery can cause overheating, loss of power and higher energy consumption.

Main signs of wear or failure:

Detecting these symptoms early and replacing the battery prevents further damage to the truck and improves equipment productivity.

Good maintenance makes the difference in lead-acid (Pb) traction batteries: more stable autonomy, fewer breakdowns and longer service life.

Recommended systems and accessories

• Automatic filling (BFS/Aquamatic): fills all cells at once, fast and safe.
• Distilled water carts/knobs with filter and hose.
• Intelligent HF chargers with IUIa curve, programmable equalization and load recording.
• Level/temperature indicators and terminal protectors.

Routine use and loading

• Charge at the end of each shift; avoid going below 20-30% charge.
• Equalize according to manufacturer (e.g., weekly or every X cycles).
• Add water only after charging and up to the marked level (distilled water).
• Maintain ventilation of the cargo area (as per EN 62485-3).

Temperature and storage

• Optimum temperature: 20-25 °C. Continuous heat accelerates degradation; cold reduces autonomy.
• Long shutdowns: store at 50-70 % and maintenance recharge every 4-6 weeks.
