Scissor Lift Aerial Work Platform Lithium Battery Upgrade Guide

Scissor lifts are essential aerial work platforms (AWPs) used in a wide range of industries, including construction, facility maintenance, warehouse logistics, and outdoor infrastructure projects. These platforms offer safe, vertical lifting capabilities for workers, tools, and materials, providing efficient access to elevated work areas.

Common Applications and Leading Brands of Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are widely used for:

  • Building maintenance and cleaning
  • Electrical and HVAC installation
  • Warehouse inventory picking
  • Construction and event setup

Top global scissor lift brands include:

  • Genie (GS Series)
  • JLG (ES Series, R Series)
  • Skyjack (SJ Series)
  • Haulotte (Compact Series)
  • Snorkel
  • Dingli
  • Zoomlion
  • LGMG

These manufacturers offer a variety of electric scissor lift models designed for indoor and outdoor use, with platform heights ranging from 6 meters to over 18 meters.

When and Why to Upgrade Your Scissor Lift Battery

Most traditional scissor lifts are equipped with lead-acid batteries, which, over time, suffer from:

  • Short cycle life
  • Long charging times
  • High maintenance (e.g., water refilling)
  • Rapid capacity degradation in cold environments

When to consider a battery upgrade:

  • Frequent battery failures or reduced runtime
  • Increased maintenance requirements
  • Slow charging impacting productivity
  • Plans to reduce long-term operational costs

Upgrading to a LiFePO₄ lithium battery is a cost-effective and future-ready solution.

How to Replace a Scissor Lift Battery

1. Safety First

  • Always disconnect power and follow manufacturer safety guidelines.
  • Use protective gloves and eye protection during removal and installation.
  • Ensure the replacement battery matches the voltage and size requirements.

2. Removal of Old Battery

  • Power off the machine completely.
  • Carefully disconnect the cables from the lead-acid battery.
  • Remove the old battery using proper lifting tools.

3. Installation of LiFePO₄ Battery

  • Install the new lithium battery securely in the battery tray.
  • Connect the terminals properly (positive to positive, negative to negative).
  • Ensure the battery management system (BMS) is functional.
  • Perform a test run before resuming full operations.

Benefits of Upgrading to LiFePO₄ Lithium Batteries

Switching to LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries offers numerous benefits for aerial work platforms:

  • Longer lifespan (up to 3,500+ cycles)
  • Fast charging (2–3 hours)
  • Maintenance-free (no acid, no water top-up)
  • Consistent performance even in extreme temperatures
  • Lightweight and compact design
  • Higher energy efficiency, reducing charging frequency
