11. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INTO INDUSTRIAL TRUCK

When substituting a lead acid battery with a Li-ion battery in an industrial truck, 
mechanical adjustments of the truck may become necessary. This must be performed 
according to the guidance the industrial truck manufacturer or representative has 
provided. Before installation, check that the battery is supplied with the appropriate cable 
harness to connect the battery to the industrial truck.

Ensure that the battery weight and center of gravity requirements per the truck 
manufacturer are followed.

Upon receipt of the battery, it must be checked for any obvious signs of damage to the 
battery and all cables, plugs and accessories.

The battery must be handled in a way to mitigate the risk of drop events and crashes.
The correct tools, lifting points and method should be used (Refer to Section 8: 
Handling).

After placement of the battery into the truck’s battery compartment, the technician must 
ensure that the battery is mechanically fixed in the truck against movement as specified 
by the industrial truck manufacturer. After the battery is fixed in the truck’s battery 
compartment, all cabling must be checked once again in order to ensure that no cables, 
wires or plugs have been crushed, pinched or cut.

12. ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTION TO INDUSTRIAL TRUCK

The battery must be connected with the appropriate cables and connectors to the 
industrial truck per truck manufacturer’s recommendations. Truck harness to be used is 
dictated by the truck OEM and shall be in compliance with all UL 583 / UL 2580 and 
EN 1175 requirements for current carrying capability and truck interface requirements.

WARNING

: Installing the battery in a non-compliant truck is a fire risk due to a potential 

for improperly sized cable harnesses.

The cable dimensioning and DC connecting plug will vary depending on the truck and 
end user requirements.

Connection will come from a single connector that is attached to the internal pack (Refer 
to Figure 1: Electrical Interfaces).

NOTE

: Defective cables and connectors can result in functional issues and/or severe 

safety hazards such as short circuits and/or fire. Cables and connectors must be regularly 
inspected for any damage or issues. Cables and connectors should only be repaired or 
replaced by an authorized EnerSys

®

 Representative using correct factory replacement 

parts. No substitution is allowed.

13.  BATTERY COMMUNICATION INTERFACES WITH CHARGER,  

TRUCK AND OPERATOR INTERFACES

There are multiple low power connections required to the outside of the CONTROL 
MODULE that must be connected during commissioning, depending on the end user 
requirements.

The position of the electrical interfaces on the control module is shown in Figure 1: 
Electrical Interfaces.

LV Charge Interface

: This is a required connection for all batteries. This interface 

connects the Charge Adapter to Control Module allowing for the required CAN 
communication between the battery and the charger.

Truck Interface

: This interface provides the possibility to provide specific integration 

functions if the battery is to be fully integrated into the truck. The truck interface is not a 
requirement from EnerSys

®

 but may be required by the truck manufacturer.

•  Interlock: Allows the truck to send a signal to tell the battery to shut down.

•  Early Warning Signal (EWS): Battery provides a discrete signal to the truck 10s before 

battery shutdown.

•  External Key Signal: Truck key actuation allows the turning on of battery.

13.  BATTERY COMMUNICATION INTERFACES WITH CHARGER,  

TRUCK AND OPERATOR INTERFACES (CONTINUED)

NOTE

: In case use of this signal as interface with the truck is necessary and it was not 

previously discussed with EnerSys, please contact service for support as prequalification 
and a specific cable are required.

Operator Interface

: Connection point for Y-harness that connects to CAN Data Interface 

(CDI) and the optional user interfaces (Refer to Section 14: Operator Interfaces).

NOTE

: The current of the interface must not exceed 0.5A.

LV-Debug Interface

: Debug interface used for EnerSys service purposes.

NOTE

: For any unused connector, the threaded cover must be fastened in place to 

prevent ingress of foreign material.

14. OPERATOR INTERFACES

All batteries will be supplied with the CDI, which is attached directly to the battery. 
An operator interface is required to be installed into the truck cabin for ease of use 
and to ensure the operator is alerted to any visual or audible alerts such as low SOC. 
This operator in-truck interface can be either the BDI or the Truck iQ™ smart battery 
dashboard. This requirement of an in-truck interface can only be eliminated if full OEM 
integration options are utilized allowing the truck’s existing operator interfaces to be 
utilized. OEM integrations require prequalification and approval from both EnerSys

®

 and 

the truck manufacturer.

All operator interfaces are equipped with a pushbutton in order to ACTIVATE and 
DEACTIVATE the battery.

The operator interfaces will emit audible beeping alarms and visual warnings when SOC 
limits are reached. After the battery drops below the Alert Level, the alarm will increase 
in speed. Continuing to run the battery without charging will ultimately result in the 
battery deactivating due to low SOC.

All operator interfaces connect to the battery via the Y-Harness cable for the operator 
interfaces (Refer to Section 13: Battery Communication Interfaces).  

CDI (CAN Data Interface): 

This device is installed on EVERY battery.

The main purpose of the CDI is to control the flow of information from the BMS to 
external data platforms including allowing CAN Open connection between the battery 
and industrial truck IF the customer decides this option. Using CAN Open connectivity 
allows data and warnings to be displayed via industrial truck dashboard instead of 
other operator interface devices. Please consult EnerSys on this option, as it requires 
engineering consultation and prequalification with the truck OEMs.

In most cases the CDI will be hidden once the battery is installed into an industrial truck.  
However, it does feature an ACTIVATION / DEACTIVATION button and LED display to 
allow interaction of the battery if accessible or when a battery is outside of industrial 
truck.

The buzzer and LED behavior for the CDI is as follows: 

•  Warning Depth of Discharge (DOD) 

ON 0.5 s / OFF 0.5 s

•  Alert DOD 

ON 0.5 s / OFF 0.5 s (+ red LED)

•  BMS error 

ON 0.5 s / OFF 0.5 s (+ red LED)

For full truck integration, the CAN open connector must be connected from the CDI to 
the truck. 

NOTE

: In the cases of full OEM integration, the battery will cease to function if the CDI 

or wires to the CDI are broken. Contact Service for repair or replacement.

The CDI data can be read wirelessly through the EnerSys

®

 E Connect™ mobile app, 

available for both iOS

®

 and Android™ operating systems. Contact your EnerSys 

Representative for login details.
