A pallet truck battery powers the lifting and the driving of an electric pallet truck or stacker. This category holds three batteries and one charger for SMITH machines: the XT2 pallet truck, the CLE stacker with the S-Ride platform and the CLJB stacker.
Each pallet truck battery or charger fits the machine named in its title; the XT2 is the only machine here with both a battery and a charger. The table below lists all four parts with their voltage, capacity or charging current and the machine they fit.

The XT2 battery is a 48 V pallet truck battery for the SMITH XT2. The CLE battery is a 12 V, 120 Ah traction battery for the SMITH CLE stacker with the S-Ride platform, and the CLJB battery is a 12 V, 100 Ah battery for the SMITH CLJB stacker.
Each battery in this category is made for the machine named in its title, so its size and connector match the battery compartment and the plug of that model. A battery that does not match gives loose connections or does not go into the compartment at all.
When choosing a battery, always start with the machine model and take the battery made for it; that battery gives the working time the manufacturer intended. The voltage and the capacity of each battery are in its title and in the table below, so you can compare them with the label of the battery you replace.
To replace a pallet jack battery, use one with the same voltage as your machine. The capacity, listed in ampere-hours (Ah), affects how long your machine can work between charges.
If you use a battery with a different voltage, the machine may not start, or the controller may be damaged. A 12 V battery will not run a machine built for 48 V, and a battery with too high a voltage can cause faults that are expensive to repair. If you choose a battery with fewer ampere-hours than your old one, the machine will run out of power sooner during a shift.
When you fit the new battery, switch the machine off and take the key out first, then disconnect the old battery. Make sure the connector of the new one sits fully home: a loose connection heats up and can burn the contacts. Mark the date of fitting on the battery, so its age is known when the working time starts to drop.
The table below lists the three batteries and the charger in this category, with their main data and the machine each one fits; each part name links to its product page.
To use the table, start by finding your machine in the second column. Once you have located it, read across to the third column for the data of the battery, or of the charger, made for it. For example, for a SMITH XT2 the battery is 48 V and the charger is a 2 A unit with an EU plug.
The XT2 charger is a 2 A unit with an EU plug, made for the XT2 battery. Where the sockets are of another type, it needs a plug adapter.
The pallet truck charger in this category is the one for the XT2. Charge every battery only with the charger made for it. A charger for another battery can have a different voltage or charging method, even if its plug fits.
Charge the battery after the shift, in a dry and ventilated place away from heat sources, and let the charging cycle finish before you unplug the charger. Whether short top-up charges during breaks are allowed depends on the type of battery, so follow the charging routine given for your machine.
Before plugging in, check the charger’s cable and plug for visible damage; a damaged cable can cause a short circuit or stop the charger from working. Keep the charger free of dust and do not cover it while it charges, so it does not overheat. Do not leave the machine standing with an empty battery over a weekend or a holiday; charge it before you leave.
These pallet truck batteries and the charger are spare parts for the three SMITH machines named above; the machines themselves are listed in the electric pallet stackers category.
If you need other parts for these machines, use the Get offer button on a product card and include your machine model and the part you need. Keep the model and serial number of your machine at hand when you order, so that you receive the correct part. Both are on the rating plate of the machine.
A pallet truck battery lasts longer when it is charged after each shift and not left standing empty.
Signs that a pallet truck battery is tired include the machine working for a shorter time on one charge or slowing down earlier in the shift than it used to. If you notice these changes, plan the replacement; the battery made for each machine is listed above.
Stop and charge when the machine begins to slow down instead of running the battery completely flat. Working on until the machine stops shortens the life of the battery.
Keep the battery and its terminals clean and dry to prevent connection problems. Check the cables for any signs of wear or damage, as a damaged cable can interrupt power. Dust and spilled liquids build up on the battery in daily use, so regular cleaning keeps the contacts good and the operation safe.
Cold temperatures can reduce how long the battery lasts on a single charge. If possible, charge and park the machine at room temperature. Before storing a machine for a longer period, charge the battery, and recharge it at regular intervals while it stands so that it never sits deeply discharged.
Switch a machine that stands for days off with the key, because its electronics can otherwise draw a little power from the battery. Do not put a battery on charge while it is still hot from hard work; let it cool first. Keep a note of how long the machine runs on a full charge: when the working time falls clearly below what it was, the battery is near the end of its life.
Before ordering a pallet truck battery, confirm the machine model, the voltage and capacity of the old battery, and whether a charger is needed as well.
Read the machine model from its rating plate and the voltage and capacity from the label of the old battery.
Check the charger before ordering a new battery, as a faulty charger will not charge a new battery any better than the old one. For the XT2, order the 2 A charger with the battery if your old charger is missing or does not work. If you are not sure which battery fits, send us the model and the serial number of the machine with the Get offer button before you order.
The current price of each pallet truck battery and of the charger is shown on its product card above.
Over the life of the machine, the battery is one of its largest running costs, so careful charging and regular maintenance pay off.
Replace a tired battery before it fails in the middle of a shift, as a sudden failure can stop production or delay shipments. If you need several parts, you can collect them into one request using the Add to inquiry button. This is useful for a maintenance team that plans to service several machines at once and wants to order all needed pallet truck spare parts together. Hand the old battery in for battery recycling; it must not go into the general waste.
Each pallet truck battery is made for one SMITH machine. The XT2 battery fits the XT2, the CLE battery the CLE stacker with the S-Ride platform, and the CLJB battery the CLJB stacker.
Use only the charger made for the battery. The one charger in this category is the 2 A charger with an EU plug for the XT2.
When the machine works for a much shorter time on one charge, or lifts and drives more slowly toward the end of the shift, the battery is tired. The right replacement for each SMITH machine is listed above.
