Against the global trend of electrification and green logistics, lithium-ion batteries are rapidly replacing traditional lead-acid batteries in industrial vehicles. As classic workhorses for warehouse handling, Linde L12R (1200kg rated load) and L16R (1600kg rated load) pallet stackers are widely deployed in logistics warehouses, distribution centers, cold storage and port terminals worldwide. Most of these vehicles are originally equipped with lead-acid batteries, which suffer from slow charging, short service life, heavy weight and tedious daily maintenance.
To solve the pain points of traditional power systems and help enterprises improve operational efficiency and cut long-term costs, EA BATTERY has developed a dedicated LiFePO4 lithium battery model LFP4608S1P (25.6V 460Ah) tailored for Linde L12R and L16R stackers. This article comprehensively introduces the model matching parameters, installation standards, manufacturing craftsmanship, performance advantages, diversified global business models and full-range international supporting services, delivering a one-stop lithium conversion solution for global Linde stacker users, distributors and rental partners.

1.1 Overall Voltage & Electrical Matching
The Linde L12R/L16R stackers adopt a standard 24V electrical system. EA BATTERY LFP4608S1P lithium battery adopts an 8-series LiFePO4 cell design, with a nominal voltage of 25.6V and a full-charge voltage of 29.2V. The voltage range is fully compatible with the original vehicle controller and factory charger. No modification to the vehicle’s electrical circuit is required, realizing true direct replacement of lead-acid batteries.
1.2 Physical Dimensions & Structural Adaptation
The overall size of the EA BATTERY lithium battery steel box is 827×270×627mm, which precisely fits the original battery compartment of Linde L12R and L16R.
Original lead-acid configurations for L12R: 24V 5PzSH600, 24V 6PZS660L (box size around 827×324×627mm);
Original lead-acid configurations for L16R: 24V 4PzS series (440Ah / 480Ah / 500Ah).
Thanks to the higher energy density of LiFePO4 cells, the lithium battery reduces the box width appropriately while maintaining the same length and height. Users do not need to cut the battery compartment or adjust the vehicle counterweight structure during replacement. The total weight of the LFP4608S1P lithium battery is about 180kg, while the equivalent lead-acid battery weighs over 315kg. The weight reduction of more than 100kg effectively lowers the vehicle’s power consumption and reduces wear on tires, wheel hubs and steering components.
1.3 Connector & Interface Standard
The battery is equipped with automotive-grade Anderson or Amphenol quick connectors consistent with Linde’s original standards. The plugging life exceeds 10,000 times, with extremely low contact resistance. It avoids heating and arcing during high-current discharge, ensuring stable operation under heavy-load working conditions. Users can directly plug and use the battery after placement.
1.4 Compatible Original Lead-Acid Models
EA BATTERY LFP4608S1P lithium battery can directly replace 24V 4PzS440, 24V 4PzS480, 24V 4PzS500. It is also compatible with Linde T20R electric pallet trucks, achieving multi-model universal application for global Linde fleets.
1.5 Charger Compatibility
Linde factory provides 90A, 160A, 225A three-speed chargers, which fully match the fast-charging performance of EA BATTERY. Users can continue to use original factory chargers or choose EA BATTERY self-developed high-frequency smart chargers. Different from lead-acid batteries requiring long cooling time, our lithium battery supports opportunity charging and can be put into use immediately after charging. Our chargers are customized to fit different regional power grid standards across the globe.
The stable performance of the lithium battery originates from strict cell selection and standardized PACK technology. EA BATTERY implements full-process quality management in accordance with automotive battery standards, fully complying with international industrial equipment regulations.
2.1 Top-Tier Automotive-Grade Cell Selection
All cells are sourced from CATL, EVE, CALB and LS. These LiFePO4 cells have passed overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit, extrusion and acupuncture tests, featuring stable performance, high temperature resistance and long cycle life for global working environments.

2.2 Standard PACK Production Process
Cell Sorting & Matching: All incoming cells are tested for capacity, internal resistance and self-discharge rate. Only cells with highly consistent parameters are grouped.
Laser Welding & Busbar Connection: Cell lugs are connected to T2 pure copper busbars via laser welding. The busbar is nickel-plated or tin-plated for anti-oxidation.
Module Fixation & Insulation Protection: Modules are installed in high-strength steel boxes with flame-retardant and heat insulation materials. The product reaches IP54 protection grade against dust and splashing water.
5th-Generation Smart BMS Integration: The self-developed BMS monitors cell voltage, current and temperature in real time. It supports overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent and over-temperature protection, as well as automatic cell balancing. The standard CAN bus connects with Linde original systems, and multi-language settings are available for global users.
72-hour Aging Test & Factory Inspection: All finished products undergo simulated charge-discharge aging tests to meet international quality standards.
