The performance of the forklift battery will directly affect the use of the electric forklift. The daily inspection and maintenance of the battery should be done in strict accordance with the specifications. The following is a detailed explanation of the forklift battery maintenance rules.
Daily maintenance
The battery should be charged immediately after each discharge
Each time it is discharged, it should not exceed 80% of the total battery capacity
Weekly maintenance
Check if the cable screws between the battery units are fixed
If the battery is not equipped with an automatic filling system, check the height of the electrolyte after charging. When it is lower than the allowable liquid level (the height of the isolation plate or the specified height), add qualified distilled water to the specified height. When there is too much electrolyte, it should be drawn to the specified height
Check if there is any accumulated water in the battery box
Monthly maintenance
Before charging is completed, check and record the voltages of all electrode units and batteries
After charging, the electrolyte density and temperature of each battery cell should be measured and recorded. If there is a big difference from the previous measured value, you should ask a professional to check
Annual maintenance
Batteries are checked by professionals once a year for the insulation resistance of the forklift and the insulation resistance of the battery; the specified value of the insulation resistance of the battery is 50 ohms / volt; for 20V rated voltage batteries, the resistance must not be less than 1000 ohms
Check the charger once according to the manual to make sure that all functions are normal
General notes
The battery should be kept clean and dry to avoid leakage current
If there is liquid in the battery box, it must be sucked out with a straw immediately
If the internal and external paint of the battery is damaged, it should be repaired immediately to protect the outer box from corrosion and corrosion
If the battery unit needs to be replaced, it should be done by a professional
Storage of battery
Store the battery in a dry, frost-free place
If you want to make the battery ready for use at any time, it should be handled as follows
Compensation charging is performed once a month, the charging voltage is 2.23V per battery unit
Please note that too long storage time will affect the overall battery life
Automatic water adding system and air disturbance system
If equipped with the above device, please follow the relevant instructions
