How to maintain the battery of the electric pallet truck in winter?

The weather is getting cooler, and it is about to enter the rhythm of winter. So what are the precautions for the use of electric pallet trucks? The energy of the electric pallet truck comes from the battery, and the capacity of the battery will be correspondingly reduced in winter, and sometimes there will be a sudden power failure. This situation seriously affects the work efficiency of the warehousing enterprise, especially at the end of the year. With the surge, the frequency of use of electric pallet trucks is also relatively tight. So how to overcome the weather factor so that the pallet truck can be used normally? Let's summarize and introduce some precautions and tips of electric pallet truck manufacturers for using pallet trucks in winter:

1) The electrolyte is very critical in the use of electric pallet truck batteries. First of all, it should be checked For the replenishment of distilled water, adding distilled water in time is the key to the normal use of the battery, and it is also closely related to the service life of the battery. It is best to add distilled water after the battery is fully charged to avoid electrolyte overflow during battery charging;

2) In winter, due to the low temperature and slow ion reaction, the charging time of the battery will be prolonged, while the discharging time will be shortened. This is a normal phenomenon, no need to worry;

3) Appropriate insulation measures should be taken in the battery charging place, on the one hand to ensure that the battery can be charged normally, and on the other hand to ensure that the battery fluid will not freeze;

4) The cleaning of the battery surface must be done well. Dust and electrolyte overflowing and adhering to the battery surface will cause the battery to self-discharge and affect the use of the battery.

5) Regularly check the liquid level of the battery, clean the surface of the battery, and check that the specific gravity of the battery has reached a good state of use.

The above are the matters needing attention when using batteries in winter. In addition, if the electric pallet truck is not used for a long time, the battery should be placed in a high temperature site to prevent the battery from freezing due to low temperature. If the ambient temperature in the northern region is lower than minus 10 degrees, the discharged battery will freeze, and the frozen battery must be thawed before charging, otherwise direct charging may cause an explosion, and it is best to use a small current for slow charging.
