Overview

This is the genuine 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery pack for the Electro Kinetic Technologies Pony Express 1061-HD lithium electric tugger. It is the same hot-swappable pack the tugger ships with, so you can keep a charged spare on the shelf and swap it in seconds for true 24/7 operation.

The pack is the lithium upgrade over the standard 35 Ah AGM battery. LiFePO4 chemistry runs cooler, charges faster, and holds a steady voltage deeper into each shift than sealed lead acid. A full recharge takes less than 3 hours from the external EKT charger on any standard outlet, so a second pack can be ready before the first one runs low.

At under 34 lb the pack is light enough for one operator to lift and lock into place without tools. Built-in Bluetooth lets your team watch the state of charge from a smartphone app, and the tugger gives a visual and audible warning when the pack needs a recharge. The cells carry UN38.3 transport certification for safe shipping.

Order a spare to eliminate downtime on multi-shift routes, or use it to keep a lithium 1061-HD running around the clock. Always charge within the rated temperature range and follow the EKT operator manual for safe swapping and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this battery fit my Pony Express 1061-HD tugger?

Yes. It is the factory 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack for the 1061-HD lithium model. The same 40 Ah pack also powers the 1061 lithium tugger. It is not a drop-in for the 35 Ah AGM version unless that unit is configured for the lithium battery system, so contact us to confirm before retrofitting.

How long does the battery take to charge?

A full recharge takes less than 3 hours using the external EKT charger, which runs on any 85 to 270 VAC single-phase outlet at 50 or 60 Hz.

How is the 40 Ah lithium pack different from the 35 Ah AGM pack?

The 40 Ah LiFePO4 pack weighs under 34 lb, swaps in seconds, charges in under 3 hours, and holds voltage more steadily across a shift. The AGM pack is heavier and takes roughly 4 hours to recharge.

Can I run the tugger 24 hours a day?

Yes. Because the pack is hot-swappable you can keep a charged spare ready and switch packs in seconds, which supports continuous 24/7 operation on busy routes.

Is the battery safe to ship?

The cells carry UN38.3 certification, which qualifies them for safe global transport. Always follow current lithium battery shipping rules and the EKT operator manual for handling and storage.
