Everyone knows that the batteries of electric forklifts need to be replenished frequently. This is because the electrolyte of the battery is composed of a certain proportion of sulfuric acid and distilled water. During the process of charging and using, the temperature of the battery will rise, and the concentration of the electrolyte will also increase accordingly, which is easy to form corrosion.
Why do forklift batteries need to be filled with water?
First of all, we need to know why we need to add water. Instead of blindly following the trend and adding water. In fact, it is because during the charging and discharging process of the forklift battery, the use environment and the internal high temperature react, part of the water evaporates, the water content decreases, the concentration of the electrolyte changes, and then it becomes unbalanced. If the battery is in a state of water shortage for a long time, it will seriously affect the service life of the battery.
When do you need to add water?
When to add water mainly depends on the electrolyte level of the battery. When the electrolyte liquid level of the battery is lower than the minimum liquid level line, it is necessary to add deionized water or distilled water to the maximum and minimum liquid level. Therefore, during the use of the battery, it is necessary to regularly check the electrolyte level of the battery to see if it is in a state of water shortage.
In addition, note that water should not be added during battery use, and water can be added one hour before the end of battery charging. When the electric forklift is charging, the bubbles inside the battery are churning and the reaction is violent. At this time, adding water will fully mix the original electrolyte with the newly added water, and then play a role in balancing the specific gravity.
What water do I need to add to the forklift battery?
You can add deionized water or distilled water, but do not add battery liquid 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 a decrease in battery performance; while tap water contains too many impurities, which will cause the battery to react thinly. Adding tap water to the electrolyte for a long time may cause It will cause a short circuit, resulting in damage to the battery.
Forklift battery water filling tool introduction
The battery automatic water replenishment system is a patented product independently developed by Hubei Lham Energy Tech Co., Ltd. (Whatsapp: +86-18007279352 ). It is an automatic water replenishment device developed for liquid-rich batteries. It can completely replace the manual maintenance of batteries. It can monitor the water shortage status of the battery in real-time, automatically replenish water, and automatically stop when it is full of water. , After the equipment is installed, the electrolyte level can be kept in a healthy state throughout the whole process, ensuring the stability and balance of the electrolyte characteristics of the battery, optimizing the use efficiency of the battery equipment, and prolonging the service life of the battery.
The battery is very important to the electric forklift, and its normal operation is a necessary condition for the efficient operation of the forklift. Adding water to the battery is not as simple as opening the battery filler cap and filling it with water. What kind of water should be added, when to add water, and which situations need to be added are all knowledge that needs to be mastered. Correct and timely replenishment of water can ensure the good operation of the battery and effectively prolong the service life of the battery.
