Galen Equipment | Scissor Lifts & Aerial Work Platforms

LI-ION BATTERY CONVERSION
FOR SCISSOR LIFTS

Galen Equipment provides advanced lithium-ion battery conversion solutions for scissor lifts originally equipped with conventional lead-acid battery systems (flooded, gel, or AGM). These modern conversion solutions improve the energy efficiency of your machines while reducing maintenance requirements and significantly enhancing overall operational performance.

Conversion procedures can be carried out either at Galen Equipment service workshops or directly on-site by our mobile service teams, depending on operational requirements. As a result, your scissor lifts can quickly be upgraded to a more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly power system.

Advantages of Lithium Battery Conversion

  • Up to 30% longer operating time
  • Reduced maintenance requirements
  • Consistent platform performance thanks to higher discharge efficiency
  • Faster charging and opportunity charging capability
  • Longer battery lifespan and lower operating costs

Lithium battery conversions carried out with Galen Equipment’s engineering expertise bring your scissor lifts together with next-generation energy technology. As a result, your equipment operates more reliably, more efficiently, and with a significantly longer service life.

Upgrade your machines to modern lithium-ion battery technology with Galen Equipment and maximize the efficiency and performance of your equipment.

Manufacturer-Designed Conversion​

Smart Energy Safety Architecture

Our system operates with an integrated safety logic developed by considering the real operating conditions of aerial work platforms and the usage habits of operators.

Processes such as energy management, emergency scenarios, and system restart are designed to work in harmony with each other. This ensures that the machine always operates safely, predictably, and in an operator-friendly manner.

High-Safety Power Management

Electric platforms encounter high load transitions and demanding operating conditions during operation.

For this reason, our solution is built on an industrial-grade power management architecture specifically designed for mobile machinery. This approach enhances system stability, protects critical components, and ensures long-term reliable performance.

Fully Integrated Battery System

Lithium conversion is not simply a battery replacement.

In the approach developed by Galen, the energy system is designed as a natural part of the machine’s electrical and control infrastructure. This allows the machine to manage its energy system more intelligently and operate safely and efficiently throughout its operation.

Why Upgrade to Lithium Batteries?

Long-Term Cost Savings

Lead-acid may look cheaper upfront, but it often costs more over time. Lithium-ion helps reduce total cost by:

  • Lower energy loss during charging
  • No watering, swapping, or routine battery maintenance
  • Less downtime thanks to faster charging and longer battery life

Longer Service Life​

Lithium-ion batteries typically deliver 3,000+ cycles, far beyond most lead-acid batteries. This longer life reduces replacement frequency, improves uptime, and supports more predictable fleet planning.

Opportunity Charging Flexibility

Lithium-ion is designed for short, frequent charging. A quick top-up during breaks can extend runtime and keep operations moving—without needing long, full charge cycles.

Lightweight & Compact Design

With higher energy density, lithium-ion delivers strong performance in a smaller, lighter package. This can improve machine efficiency, simplify battery handling, and support better overall ergonomics.

High Efficiency & Fast Charging

Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient and charge much faster than lead-acid. More of the stored energy is usable, and full charging typically takes 2–3 hours, helping maximize daily productivity.

Zero Maintenance

No watering. No acid checks. No equalization routines. Lithium-ion systems are maintenance-free, saving labor time and reducing the risk of performance drop caused by missed maintenance.

Environmentally Responsible

Lithium-ion produces no gas emissions during charging, supports cleaner indoor operation, and helps reduce energy waste—making it a more modern and sustainable power option for professional fleets.

APPLICATION​

 

  • Removal of existing battery packs and environmentally responsible disposal

  • Integration of new lithium batteries with the BMS (Battery Management System)

  • Adaptation of the charging system and/or supply of a smart charger

  • Required calibrations in the electrical and control systems

  • Performance testing and verification of system compatibility
