Individual Cell Replacement

One weak cell can drag a whole battery down. We test each cell and replace only the ones that have failed, saving the cost of a new battery.

Battery Cleaning

Corrosion and spilt electrolyte cause tracking, short run times and damaged trays. We clean and neutralise batteries so they stay safe and efficient.

Individual cell replacement

Replace the cell, not the whole battery

A forklift battery is a set of 2V cells wired in series. When one cell weakens, run times drop and the whole battery struggles, even if every other cell is healthy.

We test each cell, identify the ones letting the battery down and replace them individually. It is often the most cost effective way to get a truck back to a full shift.

  • Cell by cell testing to pinpoint the fault
  • Replacement cells and parts supplied and fitted
  • Clear advice on whether repair or replacement makes sense

  • Over 25 years' experience

    A quarter of a century working with motive power batteries means we have seen most faults before and know how to fix them.

  • Repair before replace

    Individual cell replacement and repairs often bring a battery back into service for far less than the price of a new one.

  • Computerised testing

    We use computerised charging and discharge testing equipment to find out exactly how a battery is performing.

  • Manufacturer warranties

    New batteries we supply are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, so you are protected from day one.

  • UK environmental standards

    We meet or exceed the required UK environmental safety standards when handling, servicing and replacing batteries.

  • Independent supplier

    As an independent distributor we can offer a wide choice of new and used batteries rather than a single brand.
