Lithium battery forklift battery maintenance skills to effectively extend the service life

Standardized operation of daily charging

Avoid excessive charging and discharging. Do not wait until the battery power is completely exhausted during daily use. Keep the remaining power at about 20% to connect to charging. Disconnect the power supply in time after charging is completed to avoid long-term floating charging damage to the battery plate. It is recommended to control the duration of a single charge at 8 to 10 hours, not more than 12 hours.

Pay attention to the charging environment requirements. Charging should choose a ventilated, dry, cool and rain-proof area, the ambient temperature should be kept between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, and do not charge in the sun, high temperature or rain and snow in the open air to avoid water vapor entering the battery and causing a short circuit, and avoid high temperature causing the aging of the internal components of the battery to accelerate.

Precautions for operation and storage

Operating environment protection. During daily operations, try to avoid driving forklifts in areas that are bumpy, stagnant, and corroded by strong acids and alkalis for a long time. If necessary, protect the battery parts to avoid external collisions and punctures of the battery shell, and avoid corrosive liquids adhering to the battery surface causing damage.

Long-term storage specifications. If the forklift is not used for a long time, charge the battery to 60% to 70% and store it, and replenish the battery every 1 to 2 months to avoid irreversible sulfate caused by long-term power loss of the battery. The storage area should also be kept dry and ventilated, away from heat sources and flammable and explosive items.

Daily inspection and maintenance points

Regularly clean the touchpoint. Check the battery wiring touchpoint every half a month to a month to see if it is loose or oxidized. Wipe the dust and oxides on the surface with a dry soft cloth to keep the touchpoint in good contact and avoid abnormal discharge and heat generation caused by poor contact.

Avoid abnormal load. Do not operate beyond the rated load of the forklift for a long time during daily operation. Excessive load will cause the battery to discharge continuously at high current, which will greatly shorten the cycle life of the battery. Operating according to the rated load specification can reduce unnecessary loss of the battery.
