As we all know, most electric forklifts use storage batteries as the driving source. Storage battery is an energy conversion and storage device, which can convert electrical energy into chemical energy for storage during charging, and then convert chemical energy into electrical energy for transmission during discharging. The storage battery has the advantages of low cost, high cost performance ratio, large capacity, high power and less pollution. However, the storage battery is also a relatively vulnerable part of the electric forklift. If the operation is improper or the maintenance is lacking, the service life of the electric forklift will be reduced, the work efficiency will be affected, and the safety problems may be caused in serious cases. The electric forklift manufacturer has something to say about how to correctly use the storage battery of the electric forklift.

The storage battery of the electric forklift will generate hydrogen, which may cause fire or even explosion if neglected. Therefore, the driver should not smoke or use an naked light near the storage battery. When charging the electric forklift, it must be in a ventilated place, not in a closed space or at the air outlet, to avoid corrosion caused by acid mist. The storage battery liquid of the electric forklift contains corrosive liquid, which may burn the human body. Therefore, do not touch the skin, especially the eyes. The electric forklift manufacturer reminds that in case of accident, a large amount of water should be used to wash first, and then go to the hospital in time after simple treatment.
The storage battery surface and connection of the electric forklift must be kept clean and free from dirt. If there is any dirt, it should be treated in time to prevent safety problems. When cleaning the storage battery, use a wet rag. Do not wash it with water or use a dry rag. When checking and maintaining the storage battery, use rubber gloves to prevent accidental electric shock. When charging the storage battery, make sure that the electrolyte temperature is lower than 50 ° C, especially in hot and humid summer, so as to avoid injury caused by electrolyte overflow. In addition, the electric forklift manufacturer cautions that the liquid level of electrolyte shall not be lower than the lowest line, otherwise the storage battery may be easily burnt.

The storage battery is an important part of the electric forklift and provides power for the operation of the whole electric forklift. If you want to extend the life of the electric forklift, you must pay attention to protecting the storage battery. The driver shall abide by the operation specifications and clean, charge, repair and maintain the storage battery according to the regulations, shall not treat it carelessly. Electric forklift manufacturer believe that this is not only for the healthy operation of the storage battery, but also for the safe operation of the driver.
