Electric Tug Batteries & Charging

How long does the battery last on an electric tug?

While several factors influence battery life quite significantly, the below gives you an idea of the battery life for some of our electric tugs.

The battery life for electric tugs is quantified in kilometres to show the distances the units can travel on one charge.

To give you an idea about the battery life you can expect from an electric tug, we’ve included the battery life for some of our key models below.

The figures below are based on test conditions of:

• A continuous movement of 75% of the rated maximum load weight
• Use on a flat, painted concrete floor
• Running at 3kph
• Battery discharge down from 100% to 30%

* Standard AGM battery
† 48v pack

What types of chargers are available?

Internal and external charger options* are available across the range for maximum flexibility. A MasterMover representative will always specify the appropriate battery and charger combination to maximise performance and ensure longevity.

A question we’re often asked by our expansive export customer base about chargers is “will it come with the correct plug for my region?”. The answer is yes, we’ll provide the plug needed in your territory.

(*Note: Lithium batteries are only available with external chargers.)
