As we all know, the battery of an electric forklift needs to be replenished frequently. This is because the electrolyte of the battery is composed of a certain proportion of sulfuric acid and distilled water, and in the process of charging and use, the temperature of the battery will rise, and the concentration of the electrolyte will also increase, which is easy to form corrosion.
Why should the forklift battery be filled with water?
First of all, we need to know why we need to add waterInstead of blindly following the trend and adding water. In fact, it is because in the process of charging and discharging the forklift battery, the use environment reacts with the internal high temperature, evaporates a part of the water, the water content decreases, and the concentration of the electrolyte will change, and then the balance will be imbalanced. If the battery is in a state of water shortage for a long time, it will seriously affect the battery life.
When do I need to add water?
When to add water depends mainly on the level of the battery's electrolyte. When the electrolyte level of the battery is below the minimum liquid level, deionized water or distilled water needs to be added to the maximum and lowest levels. Therefore, during the use of the battery, it is necessary to regularly check the electrolyte level of the battery to see whether it is in a state of water shortage.
In addition, it should be noted 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, and adding water will make the original electrolyte and the newly added water fully mixed, and then play a role in balancing the specific gravity.
What water do I need to add to a forklift battery?
Deionized water or distilled water can be added, but battery stock solution or tap water should not be added. If the battery stock solution is added, the battery stock solution will dilute or increase the original specific gravity of the electrolyte, resulting in the degradation of battery performanceTap water, on the other hand, contains too many impurities, which will cause the battery to react thinly, and adding tap water to the electrolyte for a long time may also cause a short circuit and cause damage to the battery.
Introduction to forklift battery water filling tools
Automatic battery replenishment systemIt is an automatic water replenishment equipment developed for flooded batteries, which can fully replace the manual water replenishment maintenance operation of the battery, monitor the water shortage status of the battery in real time, automatically replenish water, and self-stop when full of water, and keep the electrolyte level in a healthy state throughout the whole process after the equipment is installed, so as to ensure that the electrolyte characteristics of the battery are stable and balanced, optimize the efficiency of the battery equipment, and prolong the service life of the battery.
The battery is very important for electric forklifts, and its normal operation is necessary for the efficient operation of forklifts. Filling a battery with water is not as simple as opening the battery refill cap and filling it with water. What kind of water should be added, when to add water, and when to add water are all things that need to be mastered. Only by replenishing water correctly and in time can we ensure the good operation of the battery and effectively extend the service life of the battery.
