Lead-acid battery is one of the important parts for normal operation of forklift truck. The vast majority of electric forklift trucks are loaded with lead-acid batteries. It is not uncommon to affect the use of vehicles because of the bad technical condition of batteries. Therefore, the correct use of lead-acid batteries to extend their service life is of great significance. Forklift lead-acid battery life is generally more than ten years? Next let's take you to understand.
Forklift lead-acid battery life is generally a few years?
The service life of forklift battery is related to the frequency and working intensity of forklift. Under normal circumstances, the service life of a group of batteries in 2-5 years, but if the use of large load, the minimum 2 years, normal operation, and proper maintenance of the battery life can be up to 5 years or so. Why do many enterprises use electric forklifts for five years, while some use them for less than one year? These are worth pondering, after all, the price of a set of electric forklift battery is not cheap.
What are the factors that affect the use of lead-acid batteries?
1. Currently, battery string users and managers do not know enough about the importance of battery string maintenance, pay enough attention to it, and do not maintain it in a timely manner;
2. The battery maintenance is limited to simple maintenance such as battery water replenishment, and the professional maintenance methods of battery packs are not understood.
3. Lack of professional battery maintenance personnel and professional maintenance equipment, resulting in aggravated battery vulcanization, seriously affect the life of the battery.
4. Long-term storage: more than 3 months on the formation of obvious vulcanization, storage for more than 6 months, the capacity of the battery will drop to 70%, if the storage period to 1 year, the battery is basically scrapped.
5. Excessive use: in the actual use process, due to the long time use failed to charge in time, generally within 12 hours there will be obvious vulcanization.
6. Insufficient charging: in the actual operating environment, often the battery is not fully charged to use, so that the battery is in the unsaturated state for a long time, accelerate vulcanization, affect the life of the battery.
7 midway charging: in the actual operating environment, the battery is often charged in the case of battery power is not exhausted, not full and continue to use, the long-term past the battery will appear memory effect, unable to complete saturation charging, affecting the service life of the battery.
8 electrolyte density is too high: battery in the use of the process, the temperature will rise, easy to high temperature water loss, such as not timely water is caused by electrolyte density is too high, easy to make the plate leakage after water shortage, accelerate vulcanization, affect the service life of the battery.
How to maintain forklift lead acid battery?
1. When charging batteries, do not overcharge them. Overcharging the battery harms the performance and service time of the battery. Therefore, avoid such misoperations.
2. The normal charging time of the battery is 7-8 hours. Taiwei Forklift uses an unattended charger, which can be charged at night and work during the day.
3. Before leaving the factory, the electric forklift should be continuously charged for 72 hours with constant current and constant voltage. To ensure the normal service life of the battery, the battery should be fully charged before the first use.
4. It is best to check the battery fluid before charging, and supplement it with distilled water when it is insufficient. When not used for a long time, the battery should be charged once a week, no less than two hours each time.
5. Keep good ventilation when charging. No fireworks.
Forklift lead-acid battery maintenance can not be ignored, our company focuses on battery related accessories industry, our company independent research and development production: battery water gun, battery equalizer, battery automatic water refill system, battery water alarm, and other products. Luen Hung's long-term pursuit of product quality and service is almost paranoid, so that LuEN Hung has become a long-term partner of many well-known domestic enterprises, such as Camel, Superway, Lisch, etc., and exported to dozens of countries in America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other places.
