Forklift batteries (aka industrial batteries) are hands-down the most cost effective options for an off grid solar system. But the biggest question I get from clients is “How can you possibly unload and move a huge battery like that?”

You see, forklift batteries can range from several hundred pounds to several thousand pounds. I’d say that 750-1,500 pounds is the most common weight range for any individual forklift battery in an off grid solar system. Smaller systems might only have one battery, while larger ones could have several.

Moving that much weight at one time can be intimidating, to say the least. So in this video and blog post, I’ll be sharing a bunch of tips I’ve picked up after moving and installing a number of forklift style batteries.
