During the maintenance of lead-acid batteries, adding distilled water is an essential step. If you do not add water to batteries in time, the service life of forklift batteries under long-term water shortage will be affected. While some forklift operators try to save trouble, one-time replenished is very full, resulting in a large amount of electrolyte overflow when the forklift is charged, affecting the use of batteries. So what happens when you add too much water to a battery? How much water is appropriate?

Lead-acid battery has the following cases to add water:

1. If the capacity of the battery drops to less than 20% of the new battery, the water shortage is serious and must be added.

2. If the battery capacity drops to more than 20% or less than 40% of the new battery, it is recommended to refill the battery.

3.the capacity of the battery decreased to more than 40% of the new battery, less than 50% of the battery water shortage is not much, if there are conditions to refill the battery repair effect will be better.

4.the capacity of the new battery is less than 50% of the basic no water shortage, no need to supplement.

After determining that the lead-acid battery needs to be refilled, the process of refilling and adding water will then begin. General battery rehydration is added with deionized water or secondary distilled water.

What is the effect of adding too much water to lead-acid batteries? How much water is appropriate?

If too much water is added to the lead-acid battery, the forklift battery may overflow during charging and moving, which may cause the overall specific gravity of the battery, performance deterioration, water accumulation and corrosion in the box, and even battery short circuit in serious cases.

Add water to lead-acid batteries only a few times. Do not add more water than the maximum liquid level. In addition, read the battery manual carefully and the warning label on the battery box. Add water to the forklift battery according to the standard, which helps to efficiently use and maintain the battery, and prolong the service life of the battery. Battery use process is not recommended to add water, should be at the end of the charging water (an hour before the end of charging), charging the battery internal bubble billow, violent reaction, at this time add water can let the original electrolyte and water fully mixed together, play the proportion of the balance effect.

How to solve the water imbalance problem?

Manual adding water capacity often causes problems such as missing, adding less and adding more water, which will cause damage to the battery and affect its service life. In view of this problem, a set of automatic water replenishment system can be easily solved and complete replacement of manual adding water maintenance: The problem of when to add water, how to add water and how much to add water completely completes the automatic replacement of the manual link in the water adding maintenance, and converts the manual water adding maintenance into the automatic maintenance of equipment.

Battery automatic filling water system is the company independent research and development of patented products, real-time monitoring of battery and dehydration, automatic filling water, with water induction automatic stop, after the installation of equipment can keep the electrolyte level the entire in health, to ensure that the battery electrolyte features stable, balance and optimization of battery use efficiency, can effectively prolong the service life of the battery.
