Feature
It is possible to select a desired battery compartment size. On the larger models,
battery replacement to the side is available as an option.
Benefit
The truck can be optimised for the intended application. For higher intensive ap-
plications, lateral battery replacement is a recommended option.
Feature
All models have a sloping power unit.
Benefit
This way, the operator has an excellent view in the fork direction.
Types of battery
The old batteries used on the predecessors, the LWE models in the Orion range, can still
be used. This, however, does not apply to lateral battery replacement, since the height of
the new battery is lower and a different battery securing system has been introduced.
Two types of batteries can be used to power the LWE series trucks: Freely ventilat-
ed batteries (lead-acid) available in all sizes, and ventilated batteries (GEL batter-
ies). The valve-regulated batteries are manufactured by Hawker (GEL Evolution)
and are available in medium and large sizes.
Feature
The customer can choose between different battery types
● Freely ventilated batteries – provide high energy capacity, require maintenance
by replenishing water, generate oxy-hydrogen gas during charging, have lower
price compared to valve-regulated batteries.
● Valve-regulated batteries – have lower energy capacity compared to freely
ventilated batteries, are more expensive, do not require water replenishment,
present no risk of leaking electrolyte, generate almost no oxy-hydrogen gas dur-
ing charging, require a regulated charger (see the chapter on chargers).
Benefit
The customer can choose the battery that is best suited for the application.
● In case the customer puts priority on high energy capacity at a low price, then
freely ventilated batteries is the obvious choice.
● If the customer instead wants a battery that does not require special charging
rooms and maintenance, the valve-regulated batteries can be recommended.
