In the US, most major battery manufacturers publish a list of the different truck models with the range of batteries that will fit the truck, as well as battery compartment dimensions, battery cable position and lead length. If you check the internet for Enersys, GNB, C & D or others, you can probably download the information right from their site.

David S,

You may want to check common battery suppliers in the European community as batteries can be a bit differnet than those used in the US and have different ratings. (AHC - it is common for the battery rating be based on 5 hour rating in Europe & the Asian countries but in the US we use a 6 hour rating. Kinda' like driving on the RH side of the road vs the British style ya' know.

Often you will find other parts of the use higher voltage batteries - up to 80V where in US we liek our less than efficent 24, 36, 48 v types and we desgin our forklfits around the batteries and other folks design the batteries aroung the truck.
