Know Your Power Source
What is a Traction Battery?
If you are new to the industry, you might be thinking what is a traction battery? Think of it like a car battery but for heavy machinery. Unlike a standard car battery that provides a quick burst of energy to start an engine, a traction battery also known as a motive power battery is designed to provide steady, consistent power and long-lasting performance.
From powering a forklift traction battery system in warehouses to supporting traction batteries for mining equipment, these batteries are engineered to handle heavy-duty cycles and demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
The price of a traction battery for forklifts in India typically ranges from ₹30,000
to ₹3,00,000 or more, depending on voltage (24V, 36V, 48V, 80V), capacity
(100Ah–1000Ah+), and technology (flooded lead-acid vs. tubular plate). Exide
traction batteries from authorized suppliers like Palsai offer competitive pricing
with genuine warranty. Contact us for a custom quote based on your forklift make and
shift requirements.
A traction battery (also called a motive power battery) is designed for deep-cycle,
continuous discharge over long operational shifts ideal for forklifts, EVs, and
industrial machinery. A regular car battery (starter battery) delivers a short, high
burst of energy to start an engine and is not built for sustained discharge.
Traction batteries have thicker plates, higher cycle life (1,200–1,500+ cycles), and
are built to withstand repeated deep discharges without failing.
Both have distinct advantages. Lead-acid traction batteries (like Exide tubular) are
highly cost-effective, durable, and reliable for standard 1–2 shift operations. They
are heavier, which helps act as a natural counterweight for forklifts. Lithium-ion
traction batteries are more expensive upfront but offer zero maintenance (no
watering), faster opportunity charging, and higher energy density making them ideal
for high-intensity, multi-shift, or 24/7 operations.
The voltage depends directly on your forklift’s specification. Always check the data
plate on your forklift. Common applications are:
- 24V: Small pallet jacks, walkie stackers.
- 36V: Narrow aisle reach trucks, standard sit-down forklifts.
- 48V: Medium to heavy-duty sit-down forklifts, order pickers.
- 80V: Heavy-duty, high-capacity forklifts (3-ton+ capacity) used in large warehouses or outdoor yards.
A standard lead-acid traction battery takes about 8 hours to charge fully, followed
by an 8-hour cooling period before the next use (the 8-8-8 rule). With proper care,
they are typically rated for 1,200 to 1,500 charging cycles, providing a lifespan of
about 4 to 6 years depending on usage.
Proper maintenance is essential to maximize lifespan:
- Watering: Regularly check and top up with distilled water (never tap water) ONLY after fully charging the battery.
- Equalization: Perform an equalization charge (a controlled overcharge) once a month to prevent cell sulfation and acid stratification.
- Cleaning: Keep the top of the battery clean and dry to prevent surface tracking (electrical leakage).
- Discharge limits: Never discharge the battery below 20% capacity.
You can buy genuine Exide traction batteries from Palsai Battery, an authorized
Exide channel partner. We supply and service a full range of Exide traction
batteries for forklifts and material handling equipment across Pune,
Pimpri-Chinchwad, and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, offering full installation,
warranty support, and AMC services.
Exide traction batteries generally come with a standard 1-year to 3-year warranty,
depending on the model, capacity, and application (e.g., standard vs. heavy-duty
usage). Because Palsai Battery is an authorized dealer, you receive the official
Exide warranty card and seamless replacement/service support if any manufacturing
defects occur.
While technically possible due to their deep-cycle nature, traction batteries are
optimized for frequent, high-current discharge cycles (motive power). For stationary
applications like Solar or UPS systems, tubular gel or standby flooded batteries are
more cost-effective and specifically designed for those stationary backup profiles.
However, traction batteries are sometimes repurposed for off-grid solar if
appropriately managed.
Traction batteries are widely used across Indian industries including:
- Warehousing & Logistics (Amazon, Flipkart hubs)
- Manufacturing & Automotive assembly lines
- Cold storage facilities
- Mining and construction
- Aviation (Ground support equipment at airports)
- Electric vehicles (golf carts, electric sweepers)
