The dangers of overcharging a forklift battery!

If the electric forklift battery is overcharged, a large amount of gas will flush the plates of the battery, and this behavior will cause the active material to fall off, which will eventually reduce the service life of the battery. In addition, overcharging the electric forklift battery will also lead to faster water loss, which will affect the decomposition of the electrolyte, cause the battery temperature to rise, and even spontaneous combustion, which is very important. According to survey data, about 20% of electric vehicle batteries of no-name brands will spontaneously ignite after being used for a period of time, especially if they are overcharged in high temperature weather. Security risks.

Not only that, excessive discharge will also cause the battery plates to soften, which will eventually shorten the service life. So, in the face of such a situation, how should electric forklift users maintain the battery? There are many ways to maintain the battery, the more common ones are as follows:

1. When driving uphill or against the wind, it is best to use your feet to assist

Many people rely entirely on electric forklifts during driving, especially when driving uphill or against the wind, they will use acceleration methods. This will not only accelerate the loss of battery power, but also cause certain damage to the battery.

2. Do not drive after fully discharged, and charge when it is less than 30%

Overcharging a battery is not good for the battery, but recharging it if over-discharged is also harmful. Finally, for long-term shelving of the battery, it is recommended not to use it immediately, it is best to fully charge it before using it, which can protect the battery from damage.
