The 48V 24-85-17 industrial battery is a high-performance power solution designed for Nissan PE50YEE forklifts and industrial equipment. With a 48V voltage, 850 Ah capacity, and rugged construction, it ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. Its compatibility with Nissan models and extended lifespan make it a critical component for warehouses, logistics, and manufacturing facilities.
How Does the 48V 24-85-17 Battery Enhance Nissan PE50YEE Performance?
This battery delivers consistent power output, enabling the Nissan PE50YEE to handle heavy loads efficiently. Its deep-cycle design supports prolonged use without voltage drops, while advanced lead-acid technology ensures durability in high-temperature or high-vibration settings. Case studies show a 20% productivity boost in warehouses using this battery due to reduced downtime.
The battery’s optimized plate design minimizes resistance during high-current discharges, allowing seamless operation during peak shifts. Its thermal management system prevents overheating even during rapid charging cycles. For example, automotive parts distributors using PE50YEE forklifts report 14% faster pallet movement compared to competitors using standard batteries. The integrated charge indicator provides real-time SOC (State of Charge) data, enabling smarter shift planning.
What Are the Technical Specifications of the 48V 24-85-17 Battery?
Key specs include: 48V nominal voltage, 850 Ah capacity, 17.5 kWh energy storage, and 1,500+ cycle life at 80% DoD. Dimensions: 24.8″ L x 10.5″ W x 28.9″ H. Weight: 1,258 lbs. Designed with reinforced terminals and shock-resistant casing to meet ISO 9001 and UL 2580 certifications for industrial safety.
Where Can You Source Authentic 48V 24-85-17 Batteries?
Authorized distributors like Redway Power and Nissan Industrial Parts Network guarantee genuine units. Avoid counterfeit risks by verifying serial numbers through Nissan’s online portal. Bulk purchasers can request factory-direct shipping with customized maintenance contracts.
Why Choose Lithium-Ion Alternatives for Nissan PE50YEE?
While the 24-85-17 uses lead-acid chemistry, lithium-ion alternatives offer 40% weight reduction and 30% faster charging. However, they cost 2-3x more upfront. For cold storage applications (-20°C), lithium-ion performs better, but lead-acid remains preferred for cost-sensitive, high-ambient-temperature operations.
Lithium batteries excel in multi-shift operations requiring opportunity charging, with full recharge achievable in 90 minutes versus 8 hours for lead-acid. However, their higher sensitivity to voltage spikes makes them less ideal for older charging infrastructure. The table below compares key metrics:
| Feature | Lead-Acid | Lithium-Ion |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 1,500 cycles | 3,000+ cycles |
| Energy Density | 30-50 Wh/kg | 100-265 Wh/kg |
| Charging Efficiency | 70-85% | 95-99% |
How to Maintain the 48V 24-85-17 Battery for Maximum Lifespan?
Follow the 3-Phase Maintenance Protocol: 1) Monthly terminal cleaning with anti-corrosion gel, 2) Quarterly equalization charging at 52.8V, 3) Annual capacity testing with industrial-grade analyzers. Proper watering (distilled only) should maintain electrolyte levels 1/8″ above plates. Storage requires 50% charge in climate-controlled spaces.
What Safety Protocols Apply to 48V Industrial Batteries?
OSHA mandates: 1) Acid-resistant PPE during handling, 2) Hydrogen gas ventilation (≥5 air changes/hour), 3) Insulated tools for terminal work. Emergency protocols require eyewash stations within 10 seconds of battery charging areas. Thermal runaway risks are mitigated through voltage monitoring systems that trigger alarms at 55V+.
“The 48V 24-85-17 represents the gold standard in industrial energy storage. At Redway, we’ve documented over 12,000 operational hours in steel mills without performance degradation. Its modular design allows swift cell replacement – a game-changer for operations where downtime costs exceed $500/hour.”
