Your old battery goes back on the same delivery truck, with DOT-compliant removal handled for you, so there’s no separate pickup to schedule and no disposal paperwork on your end.

  • Core appraisal by voltage, Ah, and condition
  • Credit applied directly to your replacement quote
  • Old battery removed on the same delivery truck

Forklift Battery Trade-In FAQ

How much is my old forklift battery worth in trade?+

Typically $200–$1,500 in credit, depending on voltage, amp-hour capacity, and condition. Higher-voltage and larger-capacity packs carry more core value. We quote the exact credit alongside your replacement.

Does my battery have to still work to trade it in?+

No. We take old, weak, and fully dead lead-acid forklift batteries. Even a pack that won’t hold a charge has recoverable core value, and that’s what the trade-in credit is based on.

Can I trade in my battery without buying a replacement?+

The trade-in credit applies when you buy a refurbished replacement from us. If you have an old battery and aren’t replacing it through us, give us a call and we’ll talk through the options.

Do you handle the disposal paperwork?+

Yes. Spent lead-acid batteries are a regulated waste stream, so we transport them under DOT rules and provide the documentation your facility needs to stay compliant.

How do you calculate the trade-in credit?+

Three factors: voltage, amp-hour capacity, and the physical condition of the cells and tray. We appraise the core and apply the credit directly to your replacement invoice.

Are these refurbished or new batteries?+

Refurbished. We rebuild existing packs. Replace weak cells, rebalance, refresh electrolyte, and load-test every cell. For ~70–85% of new performance at 40–60% of new cost, backed by a 12-month replacement warranty.

What warranty comes with a refurbished battery?+

Every refurbished pack carries a 12-month replacement warranty. If it fails, we swap it. With local service and no freight-back hassle.

What areas do you serve?+

We’re based in San Bernardino and serve the Inland Empire and greater Southern California, including San Bernardino, Riverside, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, Pomona, Corona, and more.
