A 80V forklift system lives or dies by its charger. JUXON Power, a Shenzhen charger manufacturer since 2014, builds switched-mode Lead-acid units from 48W to 8000W, tuned to the exact pack rather than a generic curve. For a 80V-class forklift pack the real numbers are 13 cells in series — 78V nominal, 93.6V at full charge (our representative 78V 13S Lead-acid build) — charged at roughly 20.0A. The guide below uses our product sheet values, not marketing round numbers.
What a 80V forklift manufacturer actually is
It is a CC/CV (constant-current / constant-voltage) power supply that takes 100-240V AC and delivers a controlled Lead-acid charge. In a 80V system the pack is 13 cells in series (78V nominal, 93.6V full). The charger must terminate precisely at that point: overshoot cooks cells, undershoot leaves the pack shallow and the vehicle short-ranged. A purpose-built 80V forklift unit holds the curve across temperature and pack age, which is why a generic laptop brick is a poor substitute.

How a 80V Lead-acid pack should be charged
The charger ramps current to the set value, holds it while voltage climbs (constant current), then holds voltage at 93.6V while current tapers (constant voltage) until the pack is full. That CC/CV profile is what keeps a 13S Lead-acid pack healthy over hundreds of cycles. JUXON adds OVP, OTP and reverse-polarity protection so a wiring mistake trips the supply instead of the battery, and the black UL94 V-0 enclosure keeps it safe in a dusty workshop or a wet marine bay.
Connector: get this right and the rest is easy
Our sheet lists connector candidates per pack: Anderson SB50 / SBE80 Anderson EBC80 / DIN M23 + (<=30A). The rule is simple — match the mating plug, then confirm polarity, pinout and any signal/communication pins before mass production.
Where a 80V forklift charger is used
Forklift charging covers forklifts and material-handling vehicles. From the product sheet: IP65 requires matched lead-acid cycle / float curve. JUXON's standard catalog shows e-bike, forklift, mobility and marine models, but we regularly design forklift units to a customer's exact voltage, current and connector — see the forklift product page.
How JUXON builds it (OEM / ODM)
JUXON Power is a professional lithium battery charger manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, operating since 2014 across 48W to 8000W with 400+ charger models shipped to 60+ countries. The engineering team runs the full chain — schematic, PCBA, thermal management, enclosure tooling and end-to-end certification — so a 80V forklift charger arrives as a drop-in unit matched to your chemistry and form factor. Low-moq runs with fast sampling (prototypes in 7-10 days).
Certifications for your market
For this Lead-acid 80V class, typical certifications on the build are CE, RoHS. The full portfolio JUXON supports end-to-end includes CE (EU), RoHS (EU/eco), UKCA (UK), UL (USA/Canada), TÜV (Germany/EU), TÜV GS (Germany), PSE (Japan), KC (South Korea), plus ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 factory systems. Tell us the target market and we map the exact marks before tooling.
How to size a 80V forklift charger
Rule of thumb: charge at 0.2C-0.3C of pack capacity. A 20Ah Lead-acid 80V pack → about 4-6A; a 100Ah bank → 20-30A. Size the charger to the pack, not the vehicle's peak draw, and leave thermal margin for summer parking or sealed enclosures. If you are unsure, send the pack label — we return a matched model and a quote, usually within one business day.
Pre-production checklist
Before committing to a 80V forklift build, lock down four things: (1) pack nominal and full-charge voltage; (2) cell count and chemistry (Lead-acid); (3) the exact mating connector, polarity and any communication pins; (4) target-market certifications. Email those on one line and we return a matched Juxon010-series model with a quote, usually within one business day.
FAQ
Q: What voltage does a 80V Lead-acid charger actually output?
A: It charges to the pack's full-charge voltage — 93.6V for a 13S Lead-acid pack (nominal 78V). The 'charger voltage' is always higher than the nominal rating.
Q: Can one 80V charger serve both Lead-acid and other chemistries?
A: No. Lead-acid needs its own CC/CV cutoff. Mixing chemistries on one curve damages cells; we build separate profiles or a selector.
Q: Which connector fits a forklift pack?
A: It depends on the mating plug. Our sheet lists candidates per pack (XLR, Anderson, DC barrel, M16/GX16 and more); send a photo of the connector and we confirm polarity and pinout.
Q: What certifications apply to my market?
A: CE, RoHS are typical for this class; CE, RoHS, UL cover EU/US broadly, with PSE (Japan), KC (Korea), SAA (AU/NZ) and CCC (China) by market.
Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
A: JUXON runs low-MOQ runs with fast sampling (prototypes in 7-10 days); standard OEM runs ship in roughly 15-25 days after sample sign-off.
