Factors causing damage to lead-acid batteries of electric hydraulic pallet trucks

The batteries of electric hydraulic pallet trucks are commonly called lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, but now they are transforming to lithium batteries and new energy. However, this cannot be changed at once. At present, the domestic pallet truck batteries still account for the majority of lead-acid batteries. Therefore, we have a reason to learn about the relevant knowledge of lead-acid batteries, so that our daily maintenance of batteries and related stop losses.

I believe that even the maintenance personnel of electric hydraulic pallet trucks will have some knowledge blind spots and often fail to realize their wrong operation methods. What you don't know is that this wrong operation will To a large extent, it will shorten the service life of the battery by 1-3 years, and it will definitely cause financial losses. Let's take a look at some of the wrong operations about the lead-acid battery of the pallet truck.

Inaccurate charging operation is a serious problem. Almost all electro-hydraulic pallet jack operators recharge when they are idle. In fact, we need to set up a charging plan when installing the battery system, which can extend the lifespan and save a lot of cash. Different facilities need to choose different types of charging systems. When battery capacity begins to decrease, all batteries have a limited number of recharges, and to tell you, most industrial batteries are basically at 1,500 charge cycles, which equates to 5 years of regular use.

An inaccurate rehydration process can also damage the battery. To keep your electro-hydraulic pallet jack powered up, it’s all about doing the right steps at the right time. If you add water before the battery is fully charged, you may spill and lose some sulfuric acid and lose the electrolyte balance weight, which will cause the voltage to go wrong. If this process is repeated repeatedly, the surrounding environment will also overflow with sulfuric acid. The correct operation is to add it once every 1-3 weeks. It is recommended to regularly monitor the water level of the pallet jack battery.

Using the wrong charger can also cause a lot of trouble for the lead-acid battery of the electric hydraulic pallet jack. The chargers used by many companies will be too large or too small, and they are all moved from old batteries. Doing so will damage the battery, because the chargers are specially designed for batteries of a certain size and capacity, reminding everyone not to use them indiscriminately.

In addition, I would like to tell you that unreasonable charging and operating temperature can also damage the battery. Lead-acid batteries are suitable for operation in temperatures of 30-90 degrees Fahrenheit, outside this range will be adversely affected. Likewise, the ideal temperate range for pallet jack battery charging is usually 50-86 degrees Fahrenheit.
