Full title and description

ISO 1044:1993 — "Industrial trucks — Lead-acid traction batteries for electric trucks — Preferred voltages". The standard defines preferred nominal voltages and related compatibility information for lead–acid traction batteries used in electric industrial trucks (fork-lift and similar equipment).

Abstract

Specifies a classification and the preferred voltages for lead-acid traction batteries for electric industrial trucks, together with associated requirements and test-related provisions; the ISO catalogue abstract also refers to classification, requirements and test methods.

Scope

This standard applied to preferred (nominal) voltages and classification for lead‑acid traction batteries intended for electric industrial trucks, giving guidance to manufacturers and equipment designers on common voltage classes to improve compatibility between batteries and trucks. The ISO catalogue entry summarizes the scope and lifecycle.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of preferred nominal voltages for lead‑acid traction batteries used in electric industrial trucks.
• Classification of battery voltage groups to promote interchangeability and compatibility with vehicle electrical systems.
• Basic requirements and references to test/verification practices for battery‑truck electrical compatibility and marking/identification.
• Manufacturer guidance for marking, instructions and packaging related to battery voltage and safe handling.

These topics are drawn from the ISO catalogue summary and the standard's stated purpose (preferred voltages, classification and associated requirements).

Typical use and users

Intended users were manufacturers of lead‑acid traction batteries, industrial truck OEMs and designers, fleet managers specifying replacement batteries, and standards/technical committees working on industrial truck electrical interfaces and battery interoperability. Users consult the standard when selecting nominal voltages or specifying battery‑truck compatibility.
