Electric forklifts are good choice to move materials and objects inside the warehouse. They are much cleaner and quieter than forklift truck propelled by liquid fluids and emit carbon monoxide. These batteries contain hazards material. During recharging process an operator may exposed to acidic solution and hydrogen gas which is produced during recharging process. Care is required during charging process of electric forklift battery.
- Make sure that you are using correct charger to charge electric forklift battery. Charger must be matched with the battery. Its output voltage should be same as battery has.
- Check battery connectors cable are not damages. It can be sign of mismatched charger.
- Charge battery after every shift. Do not store it on low charging as it reduces battery life.
- Water the battery weekly upon full charge. Never water batteries before charging.
- It’s better to use distilled or de-ionized water to cover the plates inside the battery cells. Unsubmerged cells will quickly lose their ability to absorb and release energy.
- Make sure to charge your battery fully during finishing phase. When gas bubbles starts to appear its mean your battery is nearly full charged. The negative plate produces hydrogen and positive plate produces oxygen. This bubbling process mixes the acid inside the battery to make uniform acidity level at all areas.
- Always charge battery at open area. If charging area is concentrated then hydrogen and oxygen combination can make explosion.
- Never charge forklift battery if its too cold or hot.
