Stryten Energy Targets 24/7 Logistics with New US-Assembled Li-ion Battery

ATLANTA, GA – April 13, 2026 – As the logistics industry accelerates its shift toward electrification and non-stop operations, Stryten Energy has unveiled a new power source designed for its most demanding environments. At the MODEX 2026 trade show, the U.S.-based energy storage provider launched its M-Series Li610, a high-performance lithium-ion battery aimed squarely at the workhorses of modern warehouses: Class I electric forklifts. The launch signals a strategic move to capture a growing market that prioritizes uptime, safety, and domestic supply chains.

The introduction of the Li610 comes at a pivotal moment. The global market for electric forklift batteries is projected to grow from approximately $23.9 billion in 2024 to over $35.5 billion by 2032. This expansion is overwhelmingly driven by the adoption of lithium-ion technology, which is rapidly displacing traditional lead-acid batteries due to its superior performance, lower total cost of ownership, and operational flexibility.

A New Powerhouse for Continuous Operations

At the heart of the M-Series Li610 is its advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry. This choice is significant, as LFP is widely recognized in the industry for its exceptional safety profile and thermal stability, making it less prone to thermal runaway compared to other lithium-ion chemistries like Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC). For busy warehouses where equipment operates in close proximity to personnel and valuable inventory, this inherent safety is a critical advantage.

Beyond safety, LFP chemistry provides a substantially longer cycle life, often capable of enduring over 3,000 charge-discharge cycles. This durability translates directly to a longer service life and a better return on investment. Stryten Energy has engineered the Li610 specifically for continuous 24/7 operations, a key requirement for multi-shift distribution centers and manufacturing plants where downtime is measured in lost revenue. The battery supports opportunity charging, allowing operators to plug in during short breaks without degrading battery health, a stark contrast to the lengthy 8-10 hour charging cycles and battery-swapping procedures required for lead-acid systems.

The battery features an intuitive onboard display providing real-time data on State of Charge (SOC), temperature, and voltage, empowering operators with immediate insights. It also includes an automated hibernation mode to prevent unintended discharge when not in use, further preserving its operational readiness.

Strategic Assembly and Safety Standards

In a move that addresses both supply chain vulnerabilities and market demand for domestic products, Stryten Energy is assembling the M-Series Li610 in the United States. This strategy of domestic assembly offers greater control over production quality and reduces reliance on volatile international shipping, leading to more predictable lead times for customers. It also taps into a growing preference for “Made in America” industrial goods, which are often associated with higher quality and support for the national economy. This onshoring effort could also position the company to leverage federal incentives aimed at bolstering domestic clean energy manufacturing, such as those within the Inflation Reduction Act.

Further cementing its commitment to quality and safety, the Li610 has been designed to meet the rigorous UL2580 standard. While the certification is currently in process, this standard is a critical benchmark for batteries used in electric vehicles and industrial trucks. Achieving UL2580 certification involves extensive testing for mechanical durability, electrical safety, and tolerance to abuse, providing end-users with third-party validation of the product's safety and reliability. For large corporations with stringent risk management policies, UL certification is often a non-negotiable procurement requirement.

Beyond the Battery: An Integrated Energy Ecosystem

Stryten Energy's announcement at MODEX extends far beyond a single product. The Li610 is positioned as a key component within a broader, interconnected ecosystem designed to optimize fleet management and lower the total cost of ownership. This holistic approach differentiates the company in a competitive market where customers are increasingly seeking comprehensive solutions rather than standalone components.

The ecosystem is built on several key pillars. The new battery is fully compatible with Stryten Energy’s M-Series X-3 and X-7 intelligent chargers. The updated X-7 charger now boasts universal compatibility across the company's lithium battery portfolio and adds support for 72–96V systems, using advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) power electronics to boost efficiency and cut operating costs. This unified charging infrastructure simplifies operations for mixed fleets and ensures that each battery receives an optimal charge, maximizing its performance and lifespan.

Data-driven decision-making is enabled by the inCOMMAND™ Energy Performance Management Platform. With a redesigned architecture for faster performance and a new tablet-friendly interface, the platform provides fleet managers with customizable dashboards and real-time analytics on energy usage, battery health, and operational patterns. This intelligence allows for proactive maintenance, optimized charging schedules, and a deeper understanding of fleet efficiency.

To simplify the initial procurement process, the company also introduced a new web-based Motive Power Battery Finder. This tool allows customers to filter options, compare products side-by-side, and match the right battery, charger, and accessories to their specific forklift models, streamlining what can often be a complex purchasing decision.

“Material handling operations are demanding more choice, more flexibility and more performance from their energy systems,” said Matt Gould, Vice President, Sales, Industrial Power at Stryten Energy. “The Li610 launch reflects our commitment to providing advanced, reliable solutions that help customers achieve higher uptime and greater productivity. Combined with our lead and lithium battery portfolio, next‑generation chargers and fleet intelligence tools, we are delivering a complete motive power platform that supports the evolving needs of warehouses and distribution operations.”

By integrating advanced hardware with intelligent software, Stryten Energy is providing a powerful toolkit for modern logistics operators to not only power their fleets but to manage them with a level of insight and efficiency that was previously out of reach.
