The battery is very important for a 3-ton electric forklift. If you want to extend the battery life, reduce safety hazards, reduce costs, and improve the economic benefits of the enterprise, you must not only maintain and maintain it regularly, but also pay more attention to it in daily operations.
Some people may ask, even if they maintain the battery frequently, why is the battery life still declining? This brings up a problem that most people ignore - overcharging.
The dangers of overcharging are great, and electric forklift manufacturers will provide detailed information to drivers about the specific dangers.
If the battery of a 3-ton electric forklift is overcharged, a large amount of gas will be produced inside it, and this gas will wash away the positive and negative plates of the battery. Although the positive and negative plates are protected by glass fiber on the outside, if they are washed away by gas for a long time, the active material will fall off, which will drastically reduce the battery life of the electric forklift.
Not only that, overcharging the battery will also accelerate the loss of water, affect the decomposition of the electrolyte, cause the battery temperature to rise and even spontaneously ignite, endangering the safety of the driver.
Electric forklift manufacturers tell drivers that excessive discharge may also cause the positive and negative plates to soften. Although it will not cause a major safety hazard, it will also have a considerable impact on the life of the battery.
How to protect the battery of a 3-ton electric forklift? When driving uphill or against the wind, try not to accelerate too hard to prevent the battery from draining too quickly and damaging the battery.
In addition, drivers should know that overcharging and overdischarging the battery are not good. When the driver notices that the battery is only 30% left, it is necessary to charge it in time. Electric forklifts that have not been used for a long time should also be charged regularly every week to protect the battery from damage.
