When buying electric forklift trucks, general forklift manufacturers will remind users that electric forklift batteries need to add distilled water, but can not add tap water or pure water, why is this? Below with Xiaobian to understand in detail.

Why add distilled water to the battery?

The reason to add distilled water to the battery regularly is that water will constantly evaporate during the charging and discharging process, so it is necessary to add distilled water regularly. As the moisture decreases, the concentration of the electrolyte increases. Although the electrolyte concentration is slightly higher, the battery capacity can be improved by an extremely small amount. But at the same time the resistance of the electrolyte will also increase, resulting in serious fever. And the higher the electrolyte concentration, the faster the plate vulcanization. Therefore, in order to ensure the service life of the battery, the battery should be regularly added with distilled water. And only distilled water, ordinary purified water or mineral water contains various trace elements or minerals, will affect the performance of the battery.

Ordinary batteries used by electric forklifts should be replenished once a month. Other batteries should be replenished regularly with distilled water according to the water consumption. For the electric forklift battery that is not used temporarily, water refill can be delayed for several months.

After you refill water for batteries, you need to supply an appropriate amount of electricity. If some battery page down fast, frequent water, to check the car regulator limit voltage is too high, too high will appear over charge, water consumption, evaporation fast, this situation can be solved by adjusting the limit voltage. If there are individual batteries down fast, check whether the phenomenon of short circuit. In addition, but also to see whether the battery slot crack, electrolyte leakage, according to the truth of the judgment after processing.

Water adding process of forklift battery automatic water refill system

1. The control system monitors the liquid level in real-time

2. If the liquid level is insufficient (water shortage) and the device is in a static state, automatically enter the water refill process

3. The liquid injection valve will open automatically, and distilled water will be added to all battery cells at the same time

4. When the liquid level of any battery cell reaches the standard, the corresponding liquid injection valve automatically closes, and the excess water circulates into the control unit to prevent water pipe damage caused by excessive water pressure

5. If the liquid level does not reach the standard, continue the water refill process until all batteries are filled

6. Automatically cut out the water refill process and enter the monitoring process. The controller is in the idle state, and the single water refill process ends

The automatic water filling system of the battery can realize accurate and efficient distilled water filling, which can effectively improve the problems existing in the artificial water filling, and effectively improve the service efficiency and life of the battery through the automatic water filling process. Especially under the condition of high temperature in summer season, because of the charging zone heat dissipation problem and the influence of environment temperature is higher, the loss of distilled water is higher than other seasons, through the use of automatic adding water system, the use of special use retain more battery customers, concentrated and efficient hydrating operation can improve the battery maintenance level, so as to improve the benefit of the use of electric forklift.
