Surlon Power LFP | Floor Scrubber Lithium Battery 24V 230Ah

Product Overview

The Surlon Power FB05 is a 24V 230Ah LiFePO4 battery built for cleaning machines that work long shifts. Nominal voltage is 25.6 V and the pack stores 5.89 kWh, which is the figure to compare when a scrubber has to finish a warehouse floor, a supermarket aisle or an airport concourse before it goes back on charge.

An integrated battery management system watches voltage, current and temperature through every cycle, and the steel enclosure carries an IP65 rating for dust and water jets. The pack has a fixed, published footprint, so it can be designed into a machine's battery bay rather than squeezed in afterwards.

It is a replacement-class pack for compatible 24 V walk-behind and ride-on scrubbers, and it also suits OEMs specifying power for a new cleaning machine and distributors who need a 24 V lithium battery for commercial floor scrubbers in stock.

Day to day the routine is short: charge it, run the shift, put it back on charge. The values a technician needs are in the specification table below.

Key Benefits

• Shift-length energy: 230 Ah of capacity gives the brush and vacuum motors a long working window between charges, which is the reason to specify this pack over a smaller block in the same range.
• Current headroom: continuous and peak ratings cover brush, vacuum and traction running together, so a heavy simultaneous load stays inside the pack's limits instead of tripping protection.
• Long service life: the cycle rating in the specification table sits far beyond a watered lead-acid block's, so a machine sees far fewer battery swaps over its working life.
• Steel, IP65 enclosure: a steel case rated IP65 keeps dust and water jets away from the cells in a floor-cleaning environment.
• Integrated BMS: overcharge, over-discharge, over-temperature and short-circuit protection are handled inside the pack, not bolted on outside it.
• Customizable weight: the pack is supplied without a counterweight and its weight is set to balance the machine it goes into.
• Fixed, published footprint: the battery bay can be planned around the enclosure instead of adapting a battery to whatever space is left.
• Factory-direct build: as a floor scrubber battery supplier we build the pack, the BMS integration and the enclosure in one plant, so a repeat batch matches the first one.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Ride-on scrubbers on large floors: distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing halls where the machine runs most of a shift and a mid-shift charge would cost a cleaning window.
• Walk-behind scrubbers in tight buildings: supermarkets, hospitals and schools where a compact deck works the aisles and the battery bay is small.
• Contract cleaning fleets: teams that move machines between client sites and cannot spend the first hour of a visit watering a battery.
• Stores and hospitality: shops and hotels cleaned after trading hours, where voltage that holds to the end of the shift keeps the schedule intact.
• Healthcare and education: buildings where a sealed pack is easier to handle than a flooded block and maintenance hours are short.
• Property management and in-house industrial cleaning: a mixed fleet of two or three machine models run from one charging point.
• Fleet and dealer programmes: operations that standardise on one 24V lithium battery for commercial floor scrubbers across a mixed machine list, so charging, spares and operator training stay consistent.

Installation & Daily Care

1. Measure the battery bay against the dimensions in the specification table before the pack is lifted in, including lid clearance, cable routes and room to reach the terminals.
2. Confirm the machine's controller voltage window, connector type and polarity against a wiring drawing; a 24 V label on the old block does not prove the new pack will be accepted.
3. Decide the weight configuration before the build — the pack is supplied without a counterweight, and its weight is set to suit the machine's balance.
4. Fix the enclosure to the machine's mounting points and tighten the terminals to the machine builder's torque figure; a loose terminal is the most common cause of a hot joint after a retrofit.
5. Charge to full before the first shift with a charger set to a LiFePO4 profile, inside the charge temperature window given in the specifications.
6. Run the first few shifts and record runtime per charge, any BMS cut-out and how the machine behaves on ramps; send us those notes if the numbers look short.
7. Keep the routine short: wipe the case, check the terminals, cables and mounting hardware, and keep the enclosure out of standing water.
8. For seasonal storage, charge the pack part-way, hold it inside the storage temperature windows, and top it up before the machine returns to service.
9. If the BMS disconnects the pack, check the charger and the load before resetting anything, and contact us with the machine details if the cut-out repeats.

Why Upgrade from Lead-Acid

As a floor scrubber battery supplier, we are usually asked why a 24V lithium battery for commercial floor scrubbers costs more up front than a lead-acid block. The honest answer is that purchase price is only the first line of the comparison.

A flooded block loses voltage steadily through a shift. Brush pressure and vacuum suction soften as the charge drops, so the last hour is worked by a machine that is no longer cleaning at full performance. A 24V 230Ah LiFePO4 battery holds a much flatter discharge curve, so the machine behaves close to the same at the end of the shift as it did at the start.

Then there is the routine the old block demands: watering every cell, scraping acid deposits off the terminals, cleaning corrosion and checking vents. None of that exists on a sealed LiFePO4 pack, and the operator's time goes back into cleaning.

Replacement frequency is the second saving. The pack's cycle rating is many times the working life of the block it replaces, so a machine is bought with one pack and keeps working instead of queueing for a battery change. Charging between shifts changes too: LiFePO4 has no memory effect, so a partial top-up during a break is normal practice and the pack does not need an equalisation charge.

Handling counts in occupied buildings. A sealed pack has no acid to spill and no watering cart to wheel between floors, which matters in hospitals, schools and food service environments.

The number to run is cost per shift across the machine's working life: fewer replacements, fewer maintenance hours, no watering rounds. Put your own shift pattern and electricity cost against both options before deciding, and ask us for the cycle data behind the pack's rating.

Fit Check & Ordering

1. Start with the machine: send the make, model, controller voltage window and how it is used — brush and vacuum together, traction on ramps, shift length and floor type.
2. Compare the battery bay with the published dimensions, then share the bay drawing, mounting points, connector and pinout so the mechanical fit is checked before anything is built.
3. List the charger or chargers the pack will see, with model and charge profile, so the pack's charge limits and termination behaviour can be reviewed against them.
4. Record the current the machine draws — steady load plus startup peaks, including when brush, vacuum and traction run together — and we will check it against the pack's continuous and maximum ratings.
5. Agree any customization in the same conversation: weight configuration, dimensions, connectors, labels and packaging are settled per project, and OEM or ODM work is reviewed before it is quoted.
6. Ask which documents apply to your build and destination market; the UN38.3, UL 1973 and UL 9540A listings should be confirmed for the exact configuration rather than assumed from the range.
7. Confirm the commercial side with your sales contact — minimum order quantity, unit price, sample availability, production lead time, packing, shipping terms and warranty coverage are set per order.
8. Compare quotes like for like: ask every floor scrubber battery supplier whether the enclosure, BMS, connectors, documentation and packing sit inside the quoted price.
9. Plan the first article — run the pack in the machine, check fit and runtime, and sign off the configuration before a fleet order follows.
10. If you also need BMS boards, a different capacity from the floor scrubber range, or packs for other equipment, put it in the same enquiry and we will quote it together.

Technical Support & Model Matching

Technical questions reach the people who build the packs. Our engineering group in Shenzhen reviews your device's voltage window, load profile, enclosure space and charger before proposing a configuration; our sample group then builds units so you can validate fit and runtime before production. Cell selection, BMS design and pack assembly stay in-house, with quality checks in process and at final inspection, and a documentation team handling certificates, test reports and shipping papers. When a unit behaves unexpectedly in the field, our engineers help trace the fault and advise on installation and commissioning.
