Does the EX truck battery require a specific rating or label?

Yes. UL 583 does not permit a standard battery to be used in an EX truck. A standard battery contained in an EX enclosure is also not permitted. The EX battery must be labeled by a NRTL and have a corresponding rating to the EX forklift it powers. Just because an EX forklift is appropriately rated, approved and labeled, does not automatically mean the same for its battery. UL 583 43.1 mandates, a battery complying with the requirements for a Type EX battery shall be provided for a Type EX truck.
