The battery matches the original fitted specification exactly: 24V voltage, 30Ah capacity, 720Wh total energy, and the same quick-change connection system that allows removal and replacement in seconds without tools. It can be charged on-truck using the external charger supplied with the HGEPT0001, or removed and charged separately while the truck continues operating with a fresh battery.
The HGEPT0001 charges to full in approximately 2.5 hours. On a double-shift operation, that charge cycle creates a gap: the truck is unavailable for 2.5 hours between shifts unless a spare battery is available for immediate swap-out. The quick-change system on the HGEPT0001 removes the battery in seconds using the fastening buckle and carry handle, and the spare drops straight in, returning the truck to service immediately. The depleted battery charges separately during the shift. At the start of the next cycle, both batteries are ready and the truck has not been out of service at any point between shifts.
Direct fit for HGEPT0001: Designed as the exact replacement battery for the MAX Electric Pallet Truck HGEPT0001. Connects via the original quick-change system without modification, adaptation, or additional components.
24V / 30Ah / 720Wh specification: Matches the original fitted battery exactly in voltage, capacity, and total energy output. Using a non-matching battery risks performance reduction, compatibility issues, and potential damage to the truck's electrical system.
Approximately 2.5-hour charge time: Charges to full via a standard 110-240V AC supply using the external charger supplied with the HGEPT0001. No dedicated charging infrastructure required.
On-truck or separate charging: Can be charged while installed in the truck or removed and charged in a separate location, giving operations the flexibility to charge during a shift without taking the truck out of service.
Quick-change removal system: Push the battery fastening buckle to the left, pull the battery handle outward, and the battery releases from the compartment without tools. Replacement takes seconds, not minutes.
CE marked, RoHS compliant: Confirmed from the product label. Meets applicable electrical safety and hazardous substance requirements.
Carry handle: Integral carry handle on the top of the battery unit for safe manual handling during removal, transport, and installation.

This spare battery is used by warehouse shift managers, distribution supervisors, and site stores controllers running the MAX Electric Pallet Truck HGEPT0001 on double-shift or continuous operations where the truck needs to remain in service without interruption for a charge cycle. It is equally relevant to procurement teams managing a fleet of HGEPT0001 trucks who want to hold a spare battery as operational insurance against a depleted battery creating a service gap at the start of a critical shift.
Enabling continuous double-shift operation of the pallet truck by swapping a depleted battery for a fully charged spare at the shift changeover, so the truck is available immediately for the incoming shift without a 2.5-hour wait.
Holding as operational stock in a warehouse or depot running a single HGEPT0001 where mid-shift depletion on high-demand days would otherwise take the truck out of service.
Replacing a battery that has reached the end of its service life after extended use, restoring the HGEPT0001 to full operational specification without replacing the entire truck.
Providing a backup battery for operations where the truck is used in locations without convenient charging access, allowing the depleted battery to be transported to a charging point while the truck continues working with the spare.
Step 1: Before removing or installing the battery, park the HGEPT0001 securely on level ground, lower the forks fully, turn the key switch off, and remove the key. Press the emergency brake button.
Step 2: Open the battery compartment cover by pushing the latch handle outwards and lifting the cover plate.
Step 3: To remove the battery, push the battery fastening buckle to the left, pull the battery handle outward, and lift the battery clear of the compartment using the carry handle.
Step 4: To install the spare battery, lower it into the battery slot and connect the cable harness. Close the battery compartment cover and secure the latch.
Step 5: To charge the spare battery separately, place it in a closed, well-ventilated area. Connect the charging cable to the battery using the external charger supplied with the HGEPT0001. Ensure the power is off before connecting and after charging is complete.
Step 6: Do not use the HGEPT0001 until the installed battery is fully charged. Check the OLED battery discharge indicator before each shift to confirm charge level.
Using a non-compatible battery: Only the confirmed direct-fit EL020001 battery should be used in the HGEPT0001. Fitting a non-compatible battery risks performance reduction, connection failure, and potential damage to the truck's electrical system that may void the warranty.
Allowing the battery to fully discharge: Fully discharging the battery until the truck can no longer move reduces battery service life significantly. Recharge or swap when the OLED indicator shows charge is required, not after complete depletion.
Charging near flammable materials: Never charge the battery in an area where flammable materials or operating fluids are present. Charge only in a closed, properly ventilated room.
Using dry or fibrous cloths to clean the battery: Dry or fibrous cloths create static that can cause a spark near the battery terminals. Clean only with a damp cloth after disconnecting the battery plug.
Allowing metal objects to contact both terminals simultaneously: Contact between both terminals via a metal object creates a short circuit risk. Keep tools and metal objects away from the battery terminals at all times during removal, storage, and installation.
Not allowing the battery to fully charge before first use: During the first 100 hours of operation, charge the battery when it shows above 30% remaining. Do not allow deep discharge during the break-in period.
Park the HGEPT0001 securely before carrying out any work on the battery. Smoking and naked flames must be avoided at all times when working with or near the battery. Do not allow tools or metal objects to contact both battery terminals simultaneously as this may cause sparks. Charge only in a closed, properly ventilated room. Do not place metal objects on the battery during charging. Check all cables and connections for visible damage before charging. Ensure the power supply is off before connecting and after disconnecting the charger. Wear appropriate eye protection and PPE when cleaning the battery. Do not attempt to open or dismantle the battery. Dispose of at end of service life in accordance with WEEE Regulations by handing to a designated collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Keep the battery cell cover dry and clean. Keep terminals and cable connections clean, secure, and lightly coated with dielectric grease. Inspect the cable and connections for damage before each charging cycle. Do not allow the battery to fully discharge during regular use. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated location away from flammable materials when not in use. For extended storage periods, charge to an appropriate storage level before storing and recharge periodically to prevent deep self-discharge. Dispose of at end of service life in compliance with WEEE Regulations: consult your local waste authority for recycling and disposal options. Do not dispose of with general waste.
Q: Which pallet truck does this battery fit?
A: This battery is a direct fit for the MAX Electric Pallet Truck HGEPT0001 only. It is not confirmed as compatible with any other pallet truck model. If you are unsure whether this battery fits a different truck, contact the CMT sales team on 020 8311 1144 before ordering. Fitting a non-compatible battery risks electrical damage and may void the truck warranty.
Q: Is a charger included with this spare battery?
A: No. This is a battery-only unit. The external charger supplied with the HGEPT0001 is used to charge this spare battery, either on-truck or with the battery removed and charged separately. If the original charger has been lost or damaged, spare charger is also available (EL020002).
Q: How do I remove and install the battery on the HGEPT0001?
A: Park the truck securely, lower the forks, turn the key off, and engage the emergency brake before starting. Open the battery compartment cover by pushing the latch handle outwards. Push the battery fastening buckle to the left, pull the battery handle outward, and lift the battery out using the carry handle. To install, lower the battery into the slot, connect the cable harness, close the compartment cover, and secure the latch. The process takes seconds without tools.
Q: Can I charge this battery separately while the truck continues operating?
A: Yes. The quick-change system is specifically designed for this use case. Remove the depleted battery using the quick-change procedure, install the spare, and charge the depleted battery separately using the external charger in a suitable ventilated location while the truck continues in service. This approach eliminates the 2.5-hour charge gap between shifts for double-shift operations.
Q: How do I extend the service life of this battery?
A: Avoid allowing the battery to fully discharge: recharge or swap when the OLED indicator on the HGEPT0001 shows charge is required. During the first 100 hours of operation, charge when above 30% remaining and limit loads to 70-80% of rated capacity. Keep terminals clean and lightly greased with dielectric grease. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated location when not in use. Charge periodically during extended storage to prevent deep self-discharge.
Q: How do I dispose of this battery at end of service life?
A: Lithium-ion batteries must not be disposed of with general household or commercial waste. Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, this battery must be handed to a designated collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment recycling. Consult your local waste authority for available recycling and disposal options in your area.
Q: How quickly can I get this spare battery delivered to a UK warehouse or site?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery nationwide. CMT Group operates its own fleet of vehicles covering over 95% of the UK mainland, with live order tracking, real-time ETAs, and What3Words integration for precise delivery to a specific warehouse bay, site entrance, or depot gate without needing a full postcode.
