Lithium Forklift Batteries
Power every shift.Build around your truck.
Custom lithium battery systems for electric forklifts, warehouse fleets and OEM projects. Match your power, fit and charging requirements with a source manufacturer.
Made for the demands of
multi-shift operations.
Electric forklifts need reliable energy to keep warehouses and factories moving. Robur designs and manufactures lithium power systems with high energy density, consistent voltage and stable performance under heavy loads.
Quick opportunity charging and up to five times longer service life help reduce downtime and replacement costs compared with lead-acid batteries. Intelligent BMS control and industrial durability support safer, smarter and more sustainable fleet operation.
Leading logistics companies and manufacturing plants are switching to Robur for advanced forklift battery solutions.

Customize your batteryBuilt around your forklift.
And the way you work.
A productive forklift fleet needs more than a voltage match. Robur designs and manufactures custom lithium batteries for industrial forklifts and material handling vehicles, helping warehouses, factories and OEMs achieve longer runtime, faster charging, durable multi-shift performance and lower operating costs.
Robur’s forklift lithium batteries help boost lifting efficiency while providing safer, longer-lasting power for demanding industrial work.
Less downtime.
More time moving.
Compare the factors that affect a forklift’s working day: weight and balance, battery life, charging, maintenance and total cost of ownership.
Weight & vehicle balanceLead-acidHeavy counterweight, higher energy useRobur lithium30–60% lighter, custom ballast options
Lead-acid batteries provide both power and counterweight, adding mass and increasing energy use. Robur lithium batteries combine higher energy density with optimized weight distribution to maintain stability and reduce vehicle strain. Custom ballast options maintain balance and safety, supporting quicker acceleration and better lifting performance.
Match the complete battery system and ballast to the truck manufacturer’s specified battery weight and balance requirements.
Cycle life & durabilityLead-acid800–1,500 cycles with strict maintenanceRobur lithium3,000–5,000+ cycles, 4–5× longer
High-current, multi-shift use accelerates lead-acid battery wear; its service life is about one-third of lithium’s even with maintenance. Robur lithium systems are engineered for heavy-duty operation, lasting four to five times longer while maintaining consistent voltage. Fewer replacements reduce downtime and support operational continuity.
Cycle life depends on the selected battery and the agreed operating and test conditions.
Charging time & uptimeLead-acid6–10 h charge, plus cool-downRobur lithium2–3 h full charge, with opportunity charging
Lead-acid charging and cooling periods can require spare batteries or mid-shift swaps. Robur lithium solutions support charging during breaks and idle periods, reaching full charge in 2–3 hours. This helps keep fleets running without battery changeovers and improves warehouse productivity.
Confirm the charging time for the chosen battery capacity, charger and starting state of charge.
Maintenance & safetyLead-acidWater refilling and ventilation requiredRobur lithiumMaintenance-free, smart BMS protection
Lead-acid batteries require watering, terminal cleaning and ventilation to manage acid leakage and gas buildup. Robur lithium packs are fully sealed and maintenance-free, with BMS protection against overcharge, deep discharge, overheating and short circuits. Fewer manual steps support safer, cleaner and more predictable operation.
Follow the applicable equipment and battery instructions for inspection, operation and charging.
Total cost of ownershipLead-acidLower upfront cost, higher lifetime costRobur lithiumHigher upfront cost, lower TCO and faster payback
Shorter service life, slow charging and high maintenance can make lead-acid systems more costly over time. Robur lithium batteries deliver faster return on investment through longer life, zero maintenance and reduced downtime. For 24/7 operations, labor, energy and replacement savings can quickly outweigh the initial investment.
Assess payback using your actual shift pattern, energy costs, maintenance and replacement assumptions.
Upgrading to lithium delivers longer runtime, faster charging and consistent power under heavy loads. For warehouse fleets, logistics businesses and forklift OEMs, these advantages support safer operation, less downtime and higher productivity across every shift.

Before you specify
your forklift battery.
Can I replace a lead-acid forklift battery with lithium?
Start with an application review. The replacement needs to match the truck’s electrical requirements, compartment, required battery weight, connectors, communication and charging arrangement. Share the truck and battery details so the complete system can be assessed.
How do I choose the battery capacity?
Provide the truck model, existing battery specification, load profile, working hours and available charging breaks. Voltage and Ah alone do not establish whether a battery will meet the duty cycle.
Can I keep my existing charger?
Compatibility needs to be checked for the selected lithium battery. Send the charger model, output specification, connector and any communication requirements; do not assume that an existing lead-acid charger can be reused.
What determines the forklift battery price?
The quote depends on capacity, enclosure and weight requirements, BMS and communication, charging arrangement, project quantity and customization. Compare these with operating and replacement costs when assessing total ownership cost.
Can you provide a custom enclosure or private label?
Robur offers steel or aluminum enclosure customization, BMS options and OEM/ODM private labeling. Share your requirements for project-specific evaluation and confirmation.
