Two chemistries, two operating models.
Lead-acid still works on many floors — but the maintenance rhythm, battery room, and mid-shift swaps add labor and space lithium was built to eliminate. The right answer depends on how you run shifts, not a generic chart.
Lead-acid realities
Watering schedules, equalization, and swap batteries suit some single-shift patterns — especially where charging infrastructure already exists.
Lithium realities
Integrated packs opportunity-charge between tasks, drop the battery room, and cut routine maintenance — strong fit for multi-shift and high-cycle docks.

FAQ
Can I convert an existing truck from lead-acid to lithium?
Sometimes — it is model- and duty-specific. Share your current fleet and we will tell you what converts cleanly versus what warrants replacement.
Do you publish battery prices online?
No. Chemistry and capacity are quoted with the truck — request a quote for numbers scoped to your operation.
