Accomplishing sustainability and compliance goals 

Enjoy the convenience of using one forklift battery source for your electric equipment today, while having the ability to switch to a different battery type in the future. This first-of-its-kind feature requires no external accessories or displays and is available on a wide variety of Hyster electric counterbalanced lift trucks and other warehouse fork trucks.

With Power Cellect, you can easily switch between lead acid batteries, thin plate pure lead batteries (also referred to as TPPL) and lithium-ion batteries. This flexibility makes it easier for mixed forklift fleets to transition from lead acid to maintenance-free battery options, enables the efficient use of lift trucks across multiple sites and boosts the resale value of your equipment.

For added convenience and insight, you can monitor the battery’s state of charge on the standard truck display and track more information on forklift models installed with optional Hyster Tracker.
