First of all, it is important to note that only lead-acid batteries need to be replenished. There are also many lithium forklifts on the market now, so we must determine the battery type. (Note that water replenishment uniformly refers to adding distilled water or deionized water, and supplementing sulfuric acid solution to adjust the concentration of sulfuric acid solution does not belong to battery water replenishment maintenance, which will not be discussed here)

In addition, lead-acid battery water replenishment is one of the most important links in the daily maintenance of batteries. Forgetting to replenish water or having a long replenishment cycle will lead to a sharp reduction in the life of lead-acid batteries. Batteries that can be used for 3-4 years will have to be replaced in 1-2 years, and in many cases, water replenishment and maintenance work is not done well. (As for why lead-acid forklift battery to water, this involves the working principle of lead-acid battery, here will not expand the explanation, there are also a lot of information on the network you can search)

Now let's get to the topic. There are the following main ways to replenish water for forklift batteries:

First, manual water refill

1. Adding water:

Manually refill water for batteries through a liquid injection pipe or ball. Attention should be paid to the amount of water added. As shown in the figure above, the amount of water added should be controlled according to the buoy with liquid level. Without liquid level buoy, the water level should be controlled at about 1-2 cm above the lead plate.

2. Matters needing attention

The electrolyte in a lead-acid battery is sulfuric acid. Wear protective gloves and goggles to prevent skin from being burned when adding water.

3. Advantages and disadvantages:

It takes a long time to add water (10 to 30 minutes based on the number of batteries in a battery string). This problem cannot be solved. (Water refill is performed every 7 to 10 days.)

4. Scope of application:

Enterprises or individuals with less forklift are generally operated by forklift drivers themselves.

5. Access to equipment:

There are various application scenarios of injection needle or injection ball, which can be searched on Taobao and other websites

Second, artificial semi-automatic water refill

1. Adding water:

Refill water for the battery through the liquid injection valve and the water filling trolley with a water pump

2. Matters needing attention

The electrolyte in a lead-acid battery is sulfuric acid. Wear protective gloves and goggles to prevent skin from being burned when adding water.

3. Advantages and disadvantages:

The liquid injection valve can automatically control the amount of water added. When a single cell is filled with water, it can automatically close the water inlet. The liquid injection pipe valve kit can connect all the liquid injection valves together at one time, which allows us to replenish water for all batteries at one time. The above kits take liquid injection valve as the core and can be added in a variety of flexible ways. Still cannot solve the problem of operators forgetting or delaying adding water

4. Applicable Objects:

Suitable for a certain amount of forklift holding enterprises, can arrange a person responsible for or more than one forklift drivers share.

5. Access to equipment:

General large battery manufacturers will provide supporting facilities to buy, such as Xiangyang Camel Group, Wuhan Hobeck, etc., can also be obtained by battery accessories manufacturers at a more favorable price, mainly overseas enterprises, the more famous domestic Hubei Lham Energy.

Centralized water refill station

1. Adding water:

Cooperate with centralized charging stations and add centralized water refill stations.

2. Matters needing attention

The electrolyte in a lead-acid battery is sulfuric acid. Wear protective gloves and goggles to prevent skin from being burned when adding water.

3. Advantages and disadvantages:

Cooperate with centralized battery charging station, one-stop solution to battery charging and daily water maintenance problems. Centralized management and special personnel can solve the problem of forgetting to add water or delaying adding water to a certain extent.

4. Applicable Objects:

It is suitable for large warehouse with large forklift volume, generally equipped with professional management personnel.

5. Access to equipment:

General large battery manufacturers will provide supporting facilities to buy, such as Xiangyang Camel Group, Wuhan Hobeck, etc., can also be obtained by battery accessories manufacturers at a more favorable price, mainly overseas enterprises, the more famous domestic Hubei Lham Energy.

Intelligent water refill system

1. Adding water:

Intelligent water control, completely replace manual.

2. Advantages and disadvantages:

Completely eliminate manual error or forget to add water problems. It can be understood as directly helping the battery to do a water-free upgrade, only to ensure that there is distilled water in the water tank. Add remote liquid level monitoring system, can know the liquid level at any time, suitable for forklift leasing company monitoring equipment maintenance status.

3. Applicable Objects:

Can be applied to all forklift users, can effectively save labor costs and equipment costs.

4. Access to equipment:

At present, this project is a patent product of Hubei Lham Energy Tech Co., Ltd.
