Key Price Gap Explanation For Different Battery Types

Battery accounts for over 20% of total equipment cost, the biggest price variable:

Lead-acid battery: Standard factory fit. Suitable for single-shift operation within 4 hours daily. Low upfront cost but requires regular water refilling and features short cycle life.

Lithium iron phosphate battery: Maintenance-free, fast charging, cycle life 2–3 times longer than lead-acid. Supports non-stop two-shift operation. Extra cost ranges from ¥2,800–5,600, with larger price gaps for higher tonnage models.

Multiple optional configurations will also affect the final quotation. Mastering the above core pricing factors helps control procurement costs when purchasing walk-behind full electric stackers.
