What should be paid attention to when using the battery of electric forklifts?
Electric forklift is a very popular forklift. It is environmentally friendly, quiet, manpower saving, efficient, easy to maintain, and favored by enterprises. On a electric forklift, the battery is a very important part. A battery which has well functioning can improve work quality and ensure driver safety. It has a longer service life and can save costs. So, how can we keep the battery in good condition? The forklift manufacturer told us that no matter what the forklift price is, the following problems should be paid attention to in order to maintain the battery of the electric forklift.

First of all, pay attention to shockproof when disassembling, assembling and handling the storage battery of the electric forklift, and install the storage battery firmly and stably. The electrolyte injected shall be pure, and no dust shall enter the battery. The surface of the battery shall be wiped frequently to keep it clean and free of dirt. Keep the vent hole of liquid filler plug unblocked. In addition, timely remove the corrosion on the wire connector and pole, fasten the connector and apply the protective agent. Regularly check the electrolyte density and liquid level, and regularly check the discharge degree of the battery. The forklift manufacturer reminds that no matter what the forklift price is, if the discharge exceeds 50% in summer and 25% in winter, it should be charged as soon as possible.
So, how do we check whether the battery of the electric forklift is in good condition? First, we need to look at the liquid level. The liquid level can be measured with a glass tube, and the electrolyte should be 10~15mm higher than the electrode plate. If the battery is a plastic shell battery, it is generally marked with the lowest and highest marking lines to directly see whether the liquid level meets the requirements. When electrolyte is insufficient, distilled water must be replenished in time. Secondly, we need to see the degree of discharge. Use a densitometer to check the discharge degree. First, discharge the air in the densitometer bag, then insert a straw into the liquid adding hole, inhale the electrolyte, and float the float. The scale on the float is the density value. The forklift manufacturer reminds that no matter what the forklift price is, the temperature of electrolyte should also be measured during the test. It is corrected to the standard density of 25 ° C, and the discharge degree of the battery is calculated according to the formula.

The above is to determine whether the battery of the electric forklift is in good condition and the precautions when using the battery. The battery needs our careful maintenance to extend its life and keep it in the best working condition. The forklift manufacturer reminds that we should always observe the state of the battery, and solve the problems in a timely manner.
