Traction batteries, one of the two basic industrial battery categories, with side stationer batteries, are the energy storage systems used in mobile vehicles.Traction batteries are identified with Pzs plates, which are generally used in industrial forklift trucks, carrying or lifting platforms, and ground cleaning machines. They are also electric vehicles, used in airports and vehicles mechanical industry and a piece of equipment (MHE), and underground mining locomotives.

Traction batteries are dissected into 2 categories calculated on their sort of production: gel/VRLA and flooded (liquid electrolyte). They require different standards as DIN, British, and USA in terms of their geometrical specifications.

In India, batteries are mainly produced consistently with DIN standard sizes.
