Battery maintenance for electric forklifts

Battery maintenance procedure for electric forklifts

Almost all electric forklifts of different brands use battery packs with voltage: 24, 36, 48VDC, and the capacity depends on the capacity of the vehicle, the Aqui container, how many batteries can be used. battery to the connector (basic rule of battery connection: series connection => increase voltage, parallel connection => increase current).

Aqui used for forklifts can be diluted battery, dry battery, so the use and storage are also slightly different. The use time of the battery depends on the number of times of charging, as well as the care regime such as not letting the solution be too exhausted, the charging current is too large, working temperature, storage … Here are the basic rules to pull. Long battery life

Batteries that are attached to a vehicle need to be properly maintained for a long time to be used. It is necessary to periodically check about once every 2 months, including the following tasks: checking the level of solution in the compartments and replenishing, checking the cleanliness of the battery piles, recharging the battery with a charger…

Do not let the solution level in the flasks drop below the LOWER line, only distilled water can be used for replenishment. Before removing the covers, clean the outside of the battery to avoid getting dirt into the compartments of the battery.

Recharge the battery when it is found that the battery is low (for example, can not start the machine…) or after adding distilled water to the tank. The charging current is 1/10 of the tank capacity (see item c part 3 above), however the refill time depends on the actual measured solution density (using commercially available hydrometer tubes) . Need to remove the battery from the car when recharging, remove the negative (-) wire first, the positive (+) after.

The time required to recharge a battery is based on the actual measured density of that battery and is applied according to the following calculation:

Factor 1.2 ~ 1.5 added to ensure the battery is fully charged compared to the specified time.

For example, a 12V-5Ah battery has an actual density of 1.20, so: Discharge discharge is: 5Ah.(1.280-1.200): 0.2 = 1.5A

Time  required reload is: 1.5×1.2: 0.5 =  3.6 (hours)

Note: Do not cover the covers of the battery compartments (chambers) while charging.

When installing the battery on the car, install the positive wire first, negative after. Apply a little grease to the pitchers for protection.

For electric forklifts, the battery is the main source of energy, so if you want your electric forklift to work well, always in a ready-to-service position, we must regularly check and maintain it even when it is not. the forklift has not been in operation for a long time
