Overview

This is a genuine Electro Kinetic Technologies swappable battery pack for the Pony Express line of lithium electric tuggers. The pack uses 24 volt, 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry and is built to hot swap in seconds. A second pack is the single upgrade that turns a one shift tug into a 24/7 machine.

When the pack on your tugger signals a low charge, you lift it out and drop in a fresh one from the charging stand. The depleted pack goes on the charger and is ready again in less than 3 hours. There is no downtime and no waiting for a battery to top up. A visual and audible indicator warns you before the charge runs low, and a Bluetooth app lets you watch pack status from a smartphone.

Lithium iron phosphate holds close to full rated capacity across the whole discharge, so the tug pulls near the end of a shift much as it did at the start. The chemistry charges far faster than lead acid, runs cooler, and is safe for indoor use with no acid to spill. The pack is light enough for one person to swap by hand.

This pack fits the Pony Express 1061 Lithium, 1061-HD Lithium, and 1065 Lithium tuggers. It charges on the same external 85 to 270 VAC charger supplied with those machines. Store and charge the pack within its rated temperature range and follow the EKT manual for safe handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the swappable battery do?

It is a spare 24 volt 40 Ah LiFePO4 pack you rotate into the tugger. When the pack in use runs low you swap in this charged one so the tug keeps working while the empty pack charges. That is how the Pony Express lithium tuggers run 24/7.

How long does the battery take to recharge?

Less than 3 hours on the external charger that ships with the tugger. Because you run one pack while the other charges, you rarely have to wait on it.

Which tuggers does this battery fit?

The Pony Express 1061 Lithium (1500 lb), 1061-HD Lithium (2000 lb), and 1065 Lithium (5000 lb) electric tuggers. It uses the same 24 volt 40 Ah LiFePO4 pack as the one that came with the machine.

Is it heavy to swap?

The LiFePO4 pack is far lighter than a comparable lead acid battery and is designed for one person to lift out and drop in by hand. Follow the EKT manual for the correct swap procedure.

Is this a genuine EKT battery?

Yes. Heavy Duty Mobility is an authorized Electro Kinetic Technologies dealer and this is the factory swappable pack built for the Pony Express lithium line, not a third party replacement.
