Electric Powered Forklift Battery How To Treatment

Cranepedia - Forklifts are also often called lift pickup trucks material handling is one of the most trusted in the world of logistics. The main reason for the use of the forklift is to move and lifting.

On electric forklifts are the main component is located on the electric battery, as the battery is the source power of forklift, forklift moving and lifting weights depending on condition of the battery, if the conditions are already the drop likely only able to move but not able to lift up weights even already severe reply may well not move at all.

This is understandable, since in the most expensive element of electric forklift is located at:

1. Controller

2. Electric Battery

Estimation of the price of the battery could reach one-fifth or one-fourth of the cost of electric forklifts itself. Therefore the treatment really have to watch away for. Another case with care for the control mechanism, the origin of this section is "deliberately" not tampered with or uncovered to water, then the controller quite safe in conditions of durability.

Backside again about the power supply electric forklifts, here we will offer you how to or advice when the care of the electric battery.

And here are the things to note:

A. At the time of charge (charging)

• Check the water level be certain top plate submerged about 3 mm, if less but do not add too much because it can cause the starting point of white crust around the tray.
• Installment repayments on your Do avoid wait until battery recharging totally discharged, so there are still around twenty percent curren.
• At the time of charging the battery, open the cover so that the temperatures is not hot accumulateur, because heat is a serious killer for the battery.
• Do recharging battery until completely full 100% which is approximately 8-12, please don't rescinded before full because the electric battery will be depleted quicker so that the impact on lifetime battery.
• Make sure the power adaptor amperage used has around 10-14% of the ampere battery, because if it is too small it will quickly heat of course, if it is too large it provides an effect on lifetime.
• If using an programmed Charger make sure when the full no curren flows.
• When you are finished charging let stand 10-15 minutes a fresh ready to use.

B. During the time of Discharge (used)

• In case the use of forklifts until 24 hours then try there exists back up, so as never to interfere with the work of forklifts (no downtime).
• Make certain forklift or battery storage is separated from the hot the weather.
• Do not lift a lot that is higher than the capacity of a forklift..
• Lower the fork on a time when a forklift is not used.
• Provide lubrication or the greas on the string and bearings regularly.
• Avoid jogging an unequal surface (bumpy), because it can cause a white crust around the rack.

Forklift battery lifespan is 1500 times charging/recharging. Therefore if the day is done one time charging, then the age of the battery can be up to 5 (five) years.

The situation often found, when the hours relax or turn of change work, the operator/mechanic do a charging battery although his condition is not yet 20%. Or if it's already reached twenty percent, charging that only done in 1 hour can not be effective. In the event that this happens, it is going to reduce the lifespan of electric battery usage.
