As we all know, the battery of electric forklift is often need water. This is because the battery electrolyte is composed of a certain proportion of sulfuric acid and distilled water, in the process of charging and use, the temperature of the battery will rise, the concentration of the electrolyte will also increase, easy to form corrosion.

Why should forklift battery add water?

The first thing we need to know is why do we add water? Rather than blindly follow the trend of adding water. In fact, it is because of the forklift battery in the process of charging and discharging, the use of environment and internal high temperature reaction, evaporation of a part of the water, water content is reduced, the concentration of electrolyte will change, and then imbalance. If the battery is in a state of water shortage for a long time, the service life of the battery will be seriously affected.

When does water need to be added?

When to add water depends on the electrolyte level of the battery. When the electrolyte level of the battery is lower than the lowest level line, it is necessary to add deionized water or distilled water to the highest and lowest level between. Therefore, when the battery is in use, it is necessary to check the electrolyte level of the battery regularly to see whether it is in a state of water shortage.

In addition, note that it is not appropriate to add water during battery use. You can add water one hour before the end of battery charging. When the electric forklift is charging, the bubbles inside the battery flip, and the reaction is violent. At this time, adding water will make the original electrolyte and the new water fully mixed, so as to play the role of specific gravity balance.

What water does forklift battery need?

You can add deionized water or distilled water, but do not add battery stock solution or tap water. If the battery stock solution is added, the battery stock solution will dilute or increase the original specific gravity of the electrolyte, resulting in the deterioration of battery performance; And tap water is because it contains too many impurities, will lead to thin battery reaction, long-term in the electrolyte to add tap water, may also cause short circuit, resulting in battery damage.

Introduction to forklift battery water adding tools

Battery intelligent water adding system is a patented product independently developed by Lianhong, which is an automatic water replenishing equipment for rich liquid battery. It can comprehensively replace manual water adding maintenance operation of battery, real-time monitoring of battery water shortage status, automatic water replenishing, induction and stop when full of water. After installation of the equipment, the electrolyte level can be kept in a healthy state throughout the whole process to ensure stable and balanced characteristics of battery electrolyte. Optimize the efficiency of battery equipment and prolong the service life of battery.

The battery is very important for the electric forklift, its normal operation is a necessary condition for the efficient operation of forklift. Adding water to a battery is not as simple as opening the cap and filling it with water. What kind of water to add, when to add it, and what situations to add it to are all things that need to be learned. Correct and timely water refill can ensure the good operation of batteries and effectively prolong the service life of batteries.
