Aerial Work Platform Battery Solution

Dependable deep-cycle power keeps platforms driving, lifting and working through demanding shifts.

Reliable Power Starts at Ground Level

An aerial work platform battery does more than move the machine across a jobsite. It must support repeated driving, steering, lifting and repositioning while helping the platform remain responsive throughout the working shift. Uneven surfaces, slopes, temperature changes, transport vibration, deep discharge and limited recharge periods can all affect runtime and battery life. Rental fleets face additional demands from changing operators, equipment turnover, seasonal storage and different maintenance practices.

LEOCH addresses these conditions with maintenance-free AGM-GEL, advanced carbon nanotube and serviceable flooded deep-cycle lead-acid technologies. Each option provides a different balance of cycling endurance, recharge performance and maintenance requirements, helping manufacturers, rental companies and equipment owners match the battery to the platform voltage, duty cycle, charger, operating environment and service strategy.

Built Around the Realities of Work at Height

Power Through Repeated Drive-and-Lift Cycles

Stable deep-cycle energy supports frequent lifting, lowering, steering and repositioning throughout construction, installation and maintenance work.
Recovery That Fits the Work Schedule

Enhanced charge acceptance in selected technologies helps batteries recover more effectively between shifts, rentals and available charging periods.
Maintenance Options for Different Fleets

Maintenance-free AGM-GEL batteries simplify routine care, while flooded batteries suit fleets with established inspection, watering and servicing programs.
Ready for Rental-Fleet Demands

Durable construction supports equipment exposed to frequent transport, changing operators, irregular use and repeated movement between jobsites.

Patented Tech

More Effective Energy Recovery Between Jobs

Explore Carbon Nanotube Technology

Frequent cycling, deep discharge and incomplete recharging can accelerate sulfation and reduce the usable capacity of conventional lead-acid batteries. LEOCH’s patented Carbon Nanotube Technology improves conductivity and charge acceptance, while advanced alloy and nanoscale silicon technologies help strengthen corrosion resistance, improve electrolyte utilization and reduce stratification. Applied in the LTC Series, these enhancements support longer cycle performance and more effective recovery between shifts—making LTC an advanced lead-acid option for frequently used aerial work platforms.

FAQs

Q. Does a shallower depth of discharge always extend battery service life?

Not exactly. While shallow discharge causes less instantaneous damage to battery plates, persistent partial discharge leaves large portions of active materials unreacted inside the cells, which tends to trigger irreversible sulfation. Progressive sulfation gradually reduces usable battery capacity and degrades runtime performance.
Q. What maintenance steps are required for batteries if equipment will be out of service for a long period?

Fully charge the batteries prior to long-term storage. Perform a supplementary top-up charge once every month during storage. If the equipment is fitted with a master disconnect switch, turn it off to cut no-load circuit and minimize standby self-discharge loss.
Q. Can the original charger be reused when replacing flooded batteries with AGM batteries or vice versa?

They are not interchangeable. Flooded batteries require a higher charging voltage. If an original flooded-battery charger is used for AGM batteries, the excessive charging voltage will accelerate electrolyte dehydration and cause AGM cell bulging and premature failure. Conversely, when flooded batteries replace original AGM units, the AGM-specific charger delivers insufficient voltage to fully charge flooded batteries, leading to chronic undercharging and drastically shortened service life over time.
Q. Why will a lithium battery not charge—or appear fully charged but lose power quickly?

Several issues can cause this behaviour. A large voltage difference between cells may trigger BMS protection and substantially reduce usable capacity. The BMS itself may also have a fault affecting cell balancing, charging or discharge control.
A weakened cell with high internal resistance can limit the performance of the entire battery pack. An incompatible, aging or faulty charger may also prevent the battery from charging correctly. If the problem persists, stop using the battery and have the pack, BMS and charger inspected by a qualified technician. Do not bypass the BMS or continue operating a battery that overheats, swells or shows visible damage.
Q. Why are low-speed electric vehicles commonly powered by LiFePO₄ batteries?

LiFePO₄ is widely used because it offers strong thermal stability, long cycle life and competitive lifecycle value. Its lower risk of thermal runaway makes it well suited to low-speed vehicles operating across uneven roads, frequent cycling and varied working environments.
Compared with ternary lithium chemistries such as NMC, LiFePO₄ generally offers lower material costs and greater cycle endurance. Although ternary lithium can provide higher energy density and stronger low-temperature performance, these advantages are often less important in short-distance, low-speed applications where safety, durability and cost are the main priorities.
Q. What maintenance do low-voltage motive lithium batteries require?

Always use a charger, wiring harness and connectors that match the battery specifications. Frequent high-current operation—such as prolonged climbing under maximum load or repeated hard acceleration—can accelerate cell aging.
Store the battery in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, rain and extreme temperatures. For extended storage, maintain approximately 50% state of charge, avoid leaving the battery below 20%, and check and recharge it at least every three months or according to the manufacturer's instructions. Charging conditions, discharge depth, operating temperature, load and storage state of charge can all affect service life.
Q. Can a low-voltage lithium battery directly replace a lead-acid battery?

In many applications, a lithium battery with the same nominal voltage can replace an existing lead-acid battery, but compatibility must be confirmed first. Check the battery dimensions, mounting arrangement, terminal polarity, wiring, controller requirements, discharge current and communication interface where applicable.
A compatible lithium battery charger must also be used, as lead-acid and lithium batteries require different charging profiles. Depending on the battery capacity, vehicle efficiency, payload and operating conditions, a suitable conversion may extend driving range while reducing weight, routine maintenance and the risk of acid leakage.
Q. How do low-voltage motive lithium batteries differ from high-voltage EV batteries?

Low-voltage motive batteries commonly operate at 36V, 48V, 60V or 72V and are used in golf carts, sightseeing vehicles, forklifts, electric three-wheelers and similar equipment. Passenger EVs and electric trucks generally use high-voltage battery platforms operating at 300V or above.
Because their voltage levels and vehicle architectures differ, low-voltage systems typically have a simpler electrical protection architecture. High-voltage EV batteries require additional safeguards such as high-voltage insulation monitoring, interlock circuits and comprehensive electrical isolation.
