This is the empty steel counterweight box only. It does not include the weight fill material. It's built to hold up to 86 lbs of ballast once you fill it, restoring the balance your scissor lift or aerial platform had before a lithium conversion.

Why This Matters When You Swap to Lithium
Lead-acid batteries are heavy. That weight isn't just dead mass — in scissor lifts and aerial work platforms, it's part of the equipment's engineered stability and tip-resistance rating. When you swap to a lighter LiFePO4 pack, you lose that mass. Equipment manufacturers set OEM weight requirements for a reason, and removing weight without replacing it can affect how the machine handles, especially at height or on a slope. The EAGLE container gives you a place to put compensating weight back where it belongs, in the original battery compartment.
Battery Characteristics
This is an accessory item, not a battery. It's a steel container designed to hold ballast material up to an 86 lb capacity. Chemistry, voltage, Ah, and BMS specs do not apply to this product.
Wiring & Configuration Limits
Not applicable. This is a passive mechanical weight container, not an electrical component. It has no wiring, no series/parallel configuration, and no charging requirements.
Pro-Installer Tip
Skipping counterweight compensation after a lithium conversion is a common mistake on scissor lifts. The equipment's tip-over stability was calculated around the OEM battery weight, and pulling 200+ lbs of lead-acid mass without replacing it shifts the center of gravity forward or upward, depending on mounting location. Over time, this can accelerate wear on lift arms and stabilizer components as the machine works outside its designed load balance. Before you finalize a lithium retrofit, weigh the removed lead-acid batteries on a shop scale and match that figure against the OEM spec plate. Fill the EAGLE container to the equivalent weight difference and torque the mounting hardware to the equipment manufacturer's spec, the same standard a certified lift technician would use during a scheduled inspection.
Key Benefits
- Restores OEM-equivalent weight distribution after a lithium battery upgrade
- Steel construction sized for a fill capacity of 86 lbs
- Installs into existing battery compartments on scissor lifts and industrial vehicles
- Supports safety and stability compliance during lithium conversions

Compatibility & Fitment
Designed for scissor lifts, aerial work platforms, and industrial vehicles undergoing a lithium battery conversion. It installs into existing battery compartments where lead-acid batteries were previously mounted.
NOT a battery, and it stores no energy. NOT compatible as a substitute for BMS, wiring, or charging equipment. Does NOT include counterweight fill material — you supply or source the ballast separately. NOT rated for uses outside weight compensation in battery-compartment retrofits; confirm compatibility with your specific lift model and OEM weight spec before installing.
FAQ
Does this include the weight material inside the box?
No. This product is the steel container only. It's rated to hold up to 86 lbs of fill, but you provide the ballast material separately.
What equipment is this designed for?
Scissor lifts, aerial work platforms, and industrial vehicles that are being converted from lead-acid to lithium battery systems.
Why do I need a counterweight after switching to lithium batteries?
Lithium batteries weigh far less than lead-acid batteries. Equipment stability ratings are often calculated around the original battery weight, so removing that mass without compensating for it can affect balance and OEM compliance.
Is this an electrical component?
No. It's a passive mechanical container. It has no wiring, no BMS, and no charging requirements.
