Forklift Battery 48V 550Ah — 10VBS550 Lead Acid Traction Battery for Electric Forklift Trucks

This forklift traction battery model 10VBS550 is a Kingstream OEM 48V 550Ah lead acid traction battery for electric forklift trucks in warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and industrial material handling environments. The battery delivers 26,400 watt-hours of energy capacity, powering electric forklifts through full 8-12 hour shifts. Lead acid construction with individual cell dimensions of 109×158×690×720mm per cell, dry weight 23.5kg per cell, wet weight 34.5kg per cell. Complete 48V set packaged in metal box measuring 1080×670×590mm at approximately 860kg total weight. CE certified. Also suitable for electric vehicles, solar energy storage systems, and uninterruptible power supplies. Kingstream OEM quality from Guangdong, China.

Installing the 10VBS550 48V 550Ah forklift battery requires a battery changing station with a powered battery extractor or overhead crane — the complete battery set weighs approximately 860kg and must never be manually handled. The battery is installed into the forklift’s battery compartment and connected via the Anderson SB series high-current power connector or equivalent forklift-specific connector. The metal battery box dimensions of 1080×670×590mm must be verified against the forklift’s battery compartment dimensions before ordering to ensure fitment. After installation, check all 24 individual 2V cells for proper electrolyte level — the electrolyte must cover the lead plates by approximately 6-12mm. Fill only with distilled or deionized water, never tap water, as mineral content in tap water permanently damages the lead plates. After the initial charge, verify the specific gravity of each cell with a hydrometer — all cells should read within 0.030 points of each other at full charge (1.275-1.295 specific gravity). A cell reading significantly below the others indicates a weak or sulfated cell that will limit the entire battery’s capacity and runtime. For multi-shift forklift operations, the battery should be equalization charged weekly to prevent sulfation stratification — the accumulation of heavier acid at the bottom of cells that causes uneven plate wear and reduced capacity. The 26,400Wh energy capacity provides approximately 8 hours of continuous operation at a 6-hour discharge rate. CE certified quality. Kingstream OEM for electric forklift fleet operators.
