Maintenance-Free AGM Battery

The EFS151 is equipped with a sealed AGM battery that is robust, spill safe and maintenance-free. No watering or complex maintenance routines are required, making it a practical choice for businesses that want simple, reliable power. The AGM pack charges from standard single-phase power and is designed for overnight replenishment, keeping the truck ready for a full shift.

Clean & Green Operation

Zero exhaust emissions and low noise output make the EFS151 a far better fit for indoor work than internal combustion (IC) trucks. Improved air quality and a quieter workplace not only help safety but also staff comfort and productivity. With fewer service items than an IC truck, you also get cleaner running and lower workshop hours.

Pocket Rocket

Small but capable, the EFS151 punches above its weight. Smooth electric traction gives immediate response, precise control and steady lift performance. The compact chassis and responsive steering make everyday tasks feel effortless, while the truck’s stability and balance deliver safe, controlled handling even when working in constrained layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the battery last on an AGM forklift?

AGM batteries typically last several hundred to around 1,000+ full charge cycles depending on the model, depth of discharge and how they’re used. With sensible charging and care you’ll get reliable service for years, though overall lifecycle is shorter than lithium-ion.

What kind of maintenance do AGM forklifts require?

AGM batteries are sealed and maintenance-free in the sense that they don’t need watering. The main tasks are keeping terminals clean and tight, using the correct charger profile, and regular inspections for corrosion or damage.

Do I need to charge my AGM forklift every night?

Not always, but AGM batteries prefer to be fully charged rather than left in a partially discharged state long-term.

Can AGM forklifts handle heavy loads?

Yes! AGM batteries can deliver strong discharge currents and are suitable for many counterbalance duties.

Can I use an AGM forklift in the rain?

Absolutely! AGM batteries are sealed so there’s no free liquid to spill. As always, confirm the forklift’s IP/weather rating for safe outdoor use.

What are the benefits of upgrading to an AGM forklift?

Lower upfront cost than lithium, sealed maintenance-free operation (no watering), good tolerance to vibration.

How long will it take to charge an AGM forklift?

Full charge times vary with battery capacity and charger power, commonly 4–8 hours with single-phase chargers.

How does AGM compare to lithium-ion batteries?

AGM is cheaper up front and easier to retrofit into existing lead-acid setups. Lithium wins on cycle life, energy density (lighter), faster charging, better cold performance, and lower total cost of ownership over time. AGM can be the smarter short-term choice depending on budget.

Are AGM batteries safe?

Yes! AGM batteries are sealed and valve-regulated, preventing spills and reducing venting. They’re a safe and robust option for many industrial settings when operated correctly.
