A 24V fast charger built as a direct fit for the MAX Electric Pallet Truck HGEPT0001 and its 30Ah lithium battery, supplied as a standalone unit for sites and warehouses needing a spare or replacement charger. The charger takes a standard 100-240V AC mains supply and outputs 28.8V DC at 10A, charging the battery to full in approximately 2.5 hours. A second charger on site means a depleted battery can charge independently of the truck, supporting double-shift operations or simply giving operations a backup if the original charger is lost, damaged, or in use elsewhere.
How a second charger supports continuous warehouse operation
The HGEPT0001 uses a quick-change battery system, removable in seconds for separate charging while the truck continues working with a spare battery. That workflow depends on having a charger free to take the depleted battery. With only one charger shared between the truck and any spare batteries, operations can find themselves waiting on a charging slot rather than running both in parallel. A second EL020002 charger removes that bottleneck entirely: one charger stays connected to the truck or a spare battery at a charging point, while the other works through the next battery in the cycle, keeping double-shift and continuous operations moving without a queue forming at a single charging point.
Key Features
-
Direct fit for HGEPT0001: Output and connector specification match the original charger supplied with the truck, designed to charge the 24V/30Ah lithium battery without modification or adaptation.

Who is this for
This charger is used by warehouse shift managers, distribution supervisors, and site stores controllers running the MAX Electric Pallet Truck HGEPT0001 who need a second charging point to support a spare battery, or a replacement charger after the original is lost, damaged, or out of service. It suits double-shift and continuous warehouse operations where one charger alone creates a bottleneck between the truck and a spare battery, and any facility holding a spare HGEPT0001 battery as operational backup.
Typical applications
-
Running a second charger in parallel with a spare battery setup, allowing the depleted battery from a battery swap to charge independently while another battery is in use on the truck.
-
Replacing a lost, damaged, or faulty original charger to restore full charging capability for the HGEPT0001 without affecting truck operation.
-
Setting up a dedicated charging station for the HGEPT0001 battery away from the truck itself, useful where floor space or charging point location makes on-truck charging impractical.
-
Supporting multi-truck operations where more than one HGEPT0001 is in use and a shared single charger creates scheduling conflicts between trucks.
-
Providing a backup charger for sites where charger reliability is critical to maintaining continuous shift coverage.
How to use
Step 1: Confirm the battery to be charged is the EL020001 24V/30Ah lithium battery, or the battery installed in the HGEPT0001. Do not attempt to charge any other battery type with this charger.
Step 2: Connect the charger's mains lead to a standard 100-240V AC supply via the C14 inlet connector.
Step 3: Connect the Anderson-style DC output connector to the battery's charging port, either with the battery installed in the truck or removed for separate charging.
Step 4: Confirm the red LED is lit, indicating charging mode is active. If the yellow LED flashes, disconnect and check the connections before retrying; if the fault persists, do not continue charging and contact CMT for support.
Step 5: Allow approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge from a depleted battery. The green LED indicates the battery is fully charged and ready for use.
Step 6: Disconnect the mains supply before disconnecting the DC output connector. Store the charger in a dry, ventilated location when not in use.
Common mistakes
-
Using the charger with a non-compatible battery: This charger is matched to the 24V/30Ah lithium-ion chemistry of the HGEPT0001 battery. Using it with a lead-acid battery or any other lithium battery not confirmed as compatible risks damage to the battery, the charger, or both.
-
Charging in an unventilated or enclosed space: The integrated cooling fan needs unobstructed airflow to maintain stable charging performance. Do not enclose the charger in a sealed cabinet or cover the fan vents during charging.
-
Ignoring a yellow fault LED: A flashing yellow LED indicates a charger fault and a solid yellow LED indicates a battery fault. Continuing to charge through either fault condition risks further damage. Disconnect and investigate before attempting to charge again.
-
Disconnecting the mains lead before the DC connector: Always disconnect the mains supply first, then the DC output connector, to avoid any risk of sparking at the battery terminals.
-
Storing the charger in damp or unventilated conditions: The charger's electronics and connectors are vulnerable to moisture ingress. Store in a dry, covered location between uses.
Safety
Only use this charger with the confirmed compatible HGEPT0001 lithium battery. Do not use with lead-acid batteries or any battery type not confirmed as compatible. Ensure the charger has adequate ventilation during use and is not covered or enclosed. Inspect the mains lead, C14 connector, and DC output connector for damage before each use. Do not use a charger with a damaged lead, connector, or housing. Always disconnect the mains supply before disconnecting the battery connector. Charge only in a dry, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials, consistent with the battery charging safety regulations in the HGEPT0001 user manual.
Maintenance
Keep the charger housing clean and free of dust buildup around the cooling fan and heatsink fins, as obstructed airflow reduces charging performance and increases internal heat. Inspect the mains lead and DC output connector for wear, fraying, or damage before each use. Store in a dry, ventilated location away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use. Do not attempt to open or repair the charger housing; faults should be assessed by a qualified technician.

Q: Why would I need a second charger if one came with the truck?
A: A second charger removes the bottleneck created when a single charger has to be shared between the truck and a spare battery. With the HGEPT0001's quick-change battery system, the most efficient way to run double-shift or continuous operations is to charge a spare battery independently while another is in use. A single shared charger means waiting for a charging slot; a second charger lets both batteries charge or be used in parallel.
Q: What do the LED indicators on the charger mean?
A: A red LED indicates active charging mode. A green LED indicates the battery is fully charged. A flashing yellow LED indicates a charger fault and a solid yellow LED indicates a battery fault. If either fault indicator appears, disconnect the charger and check the connections before attempting to charge again.
Q: What is this charger NOT suitable for?
A: This charger is matched to the 24V/30Ah lithium-ion battery used in the HGEPT0001 and must not be used to charge lead-acid batteries or any other battery chemistry not confirmed as compatible. It is not confirmed as compatible with any pallet truck model other than the HGEPT0001. Do not use the charger in an enclosed, unventilated, or damp environment.
Q: How long does a full charge take with this charger?
A: Approximately 2.5 hours from a depleted battery, matching the charge time confirmed in the HGEPT0001 user manual. This applies whether the battery is charged while installed in the truck or removed and charged separately using this standalone unit.
Q: Is this charger suitable for use anywhere in the UK without an adaptor?
A: Yes. The charger accepts a 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz input, covering the standard UK mains supply without requiring a transformer, step-down converter, or special adaptor. It connects via a standard C14 IEC mains lead.
Q: How quickly can I get this charger delivered to a UK warehouse or site?
