Section 03 · Performance Engine

Engineered to Outwork Anything in Your Bay.

We don't build "battery alternatives." We build the power source your equipment was supposed to ship with — locked in a sealed VRLA case with military-spec internals.

Versus traditional flooded batteries that degrade noticeably after a single deep drain.

Higher Ah

Capacity vs. Standard Lead-Acid

VMAX AGM batteries typically deliver higher amp-hour ratings than comparable group-size flooded or generic AGM options — more usable runtime per shift, per charge.

99.9%

Maintenance-Free VRLA Design

Zero water filling, zero corrosive vapors, absolute spillproof operation at any mounting angle.

Alloy Grid Plates

Extreme resistance to heavy shock and high-vibration warehouse floors — built like a sealed armory.

Section 04 · Cycle Life Curve

Shallower Discharges. Dramatically More Cycles.

Battery life isn't a single number — it's a curve. The deeper you discharge each shift, the fewer cycles you get. The VMAX XTR-Series consistently outperforms our standard AGM line at every depth of discharge, with the biggest gains exactly where industrial fleets operate: 25%–50% DoD.

  • ~1,000 cycles at 50% DoD — the deep-cycle industry benchmark, every shift.
  • 1,600–2,600 cycles at 25% DoD — pair with a properly-sized bank for 7–10 year service life.

Section 04 · Common Questions

What procurement teams ask before they switch.

Clear answers to the questions we hear most often.

01

Total cost of ownership

AGM carries a higher upfront price than flooded cells, but a 7–10 year design life typically reduces battery spend over the equipment's service life. We're happy to share a side-by-side comparison for your fleet.

02

Installation and downtime

VMAX packs are exact-fit, drop-in replacements. No rewiring, no charger changes, and no operator retraining required.

03

AGM vs. LiFePO4

Single-shift operations charging overnight are generally best served by AGM. Multi-shift fleets using opportunity charging often benefit from LiFePO4. Our team will recommend the right fit based on your duty cycle.

THE VMAX PROMISE
12mo
Performance Assurance
Backed by direct technical support

Section 07 · FAQ

Procurement Questions, Answered.

Talk to a Michigan-based battery expert — lifetime technical support on every product we ship.

Are VMAX batteries drop-in replacements for my industrial equipment?

+

Yes. If you're replacing existing batteries, match the Group Number (U1, GC2, GC8, GC12, Group 31, 4D, 8D) to the corresponding VMAX SKU. Our Michigan-based battery experts will confirm the fit for JLG, Genie, Skyjack, Tennant, Nilfisk, Clarke, Crown, Raymond and Big Joe — and we provide lifetime technical support on every product.

How long will my VMAX battery last in heavy multi-shift use?

+

AGM batteries are designed for an 8–10 year lifespan in float service. In active deep-cycle use at 50% depth of discharge every other day, expect 5–6 years. Our LiFePO4 Lithium batteries are rated for up to 4,000 life cycles — one of the longest service lives on the market.

Do VMAX batteries require maintenance or watering?

+

No. Sealed AGM construction is fully maintenance-free — no watering, no acid spills, no specific-gravity checks. Over 99% of gases are recombined internally, and batteries are classified non-spillable and non-hazardous for ground, sea, and air transport.

What's the warranty?

+

AGM batteries and chargers: 1-Year Full Replacement Warranty. LiFePO4 Lithium batteries: 7-Year Pro-Rated Warranty. Every claim is handled by our Michigan-based support team.

Where is VMAX based?

+

VMAX is a US-based company headquartered in Michigan, founded in 1991. Our batteries are designed and engineered in the US, and accessories such as battery cables and battery boxes are manufactured at our US facility.

How fast does my fleet order ship?

+

Shipping is FREE to any home or business in the 48 contiguous United States. Most orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day; 98% of customers receive their batteries within 2–5 business days. Heavy LTL freight orders ship the next business day via top-tier carriers.
