How Much Is the Battery Price of Unmanned Forklift? After Reading It, You Will Know

time:2025-11-19
nulltrong> ternary lithium battery core: the energy density is high and the volume is smaller, but the safety is lower than that of lithium iron phosphate, and the price is usually more expensive, which is suitable for scenarios with high requirements on volume and weight.
  • Lead Acid Battery: low cost, but large volume, heavy weight, short life, gradually replaced by lithium batteries.
  • Although the unit price of lithium iron phosphate batteries is relatively high, its durability and safety provide more stable power guarantee for unmanned forklift, so the price positioning is relatively high.

    1. Brand and manufacturing process
      brand influence and manufacturing process are important factors that determine battery price. Famous brands usually adopt more advanced production equipment and quality control system, which can provide higher quality and long service life batteries, and the price is naturally higher. On the contrary, the price of batteries produced by non-brand or low-end manufacturers is relatively low, but the service life and safety performance are difficult to guarantee.

    2. Battery Management System (BMS)
      high-performance BMS can monitor the battery status in real time, prevent overcharge, overdischarge, overheating and other abnormalities, and ensure the safe operation of the battery. The complexity and function richness of BMS will also affect the cost of the whole set of batteries. Full-featured and highly intelligent BMS systems are relatively expensive.

    3. Lots of production and procurement channels
      large-volume procurement can usually obtain better price concessions, while small-volume or scattered procurement costs are higher. In addition, the purchase price from the manufacturer is lower than that from the agent or distributor.

    4. Other influencing factors

    • after-sales service and quality assurance policy: High-quality after-sales service and a longer warranty period usually mean a higher price.
    • Transportation and taxes: Due to its special nature, the transportation cost of batteries is relatively high, and taxes and tariffs will also be reflected in the price.

    II. Reference for price range of different types of unmanned forklift batteries

    1. lithium iron phosphate battery
    • 48v 100Ah: The price is about 6000-9000 yuan
    • 48v 200Ah: the price range is about 12000 to 18000 yuan
    • 80v 200Ah: The price is about 25000 to 35000 yuan
    • 80v 300Ah: the price can reach more than 40000 yuan
    1. ternary lithium battery
      the price is generally higher than that of lithium iron phosphate battery, and it is rarely used for forklift power in the market, mainly for equipment with higher requirements on energy density.

    2. Lead Acid Battery
      the price is relatively low, for example, the price of 48V 100Ah lead-acid battery is about 3000-5000 yuan, but the long-term cost is relatively high due to the short service life.

    3. How to choose the right unmanned forklift battery?

    When choosing unmanned forklift batteries, we should not only look at the initial purchase price, but also comprehensively consider the service life, maintenance cost, safety performance and energy efficiency performance.

    • Lithium iron phosphate battery is preferred., because of its excellent performance, long service life and high safety, although the initial investment is relatively high, it is more economical in the long run.
    • Confirm battery specifications match forklift needs to avoid device performance degradation or frequent battery replacement due to insufficient voltage or capacity.
    • Select reputable brands and suppliers to ensure product quality and perfect after-sales service.
    • Focus on battery management system functions, select a battery with smart BMS to improve the safety and convenience of use.

    The price of unmanned forklift battery is affected by various factors such as voltage, capacity, cell type, brand, BMS system and procurement channels, and the price range is wide. As the mainstream power battery, lithium iron phosphate battery has higher price than traditional lead-acid battery, but its performance and safety advantages are obvious, which is the first choice in the unmanned forklift market at present. Understanding the influence of different factors on price is helpful for enterprises to reasonably budget the purchase cost, choose the battery scheme with the highest cost performance, and ensure the efficient and stable operation of unmanned forklift.
