How to prevent electric pallet jack battery from discharging due to failure?
The importance of battery to electric pallet jack is self-evident. The polar plate is an important part of the battery. If it fails, the whole battery will run badly or even lose its life. polar plates may have been heard by many people but have not been carefully understood. The polar plate is divided into positive polar plate and negative polar plate. The positive plate is coated with lead dioxide powder and the negative plate is coated with spongy lead powder. They will play an important role in the process of battery charging and discharging. Regardless of the forklift price, one of the most common problems of the polar plate is the fault self-discharge. How to prevent such problems? The pallet jack manufacture has something to say.

First of all, let's see what self-discharge is? On an electric pallet jack, a fully charged battery will not gradually lose its power during placement, which is called self-discharge. If the capacity of the battery does not exceed 0.7% all day, it is normal self-discharge. If it exceeds 2%~3%, it is a fault self-discharge. So why does the battery discharge automatically due to failure? There are several possibilities. The first possibility is that the content of impurities in the electrolyte is too high. The second possibility is caused by internal short circuit. Regardless of the forklift price, the pallet jack manufacture told us that the third reason is that the battery surface is not clean.
What should we do to prevent faulty self-discharge of the battery of the electric pallet jack? First, the raw materials for preparing the electrolyte should meet the requirements of the electric forklift manufacture. Second, the prepared utensils should meet the requirements. Third, keep the electrolyte properly to prevent impurities from mixing in it. When the electrolyte level is too low, it is necessary to supplement distilled water instead of drinking water or other liquids. Fourth, cover the filling plug after adding liquid to prevent dirt from falling into the electrolyte. Fifth, regardless of the forklift price, the surface of the battery should be cleaned and kept clean and dry.

This is how to determine whether there is fault self-discharge in the electric pallet jack and how to prevent it. In general, you can find that regardless of the forklift price, in order to prevent battery failure, you must check regularly and operate carefully according to the regulations and requirements of the pallet jack manufacture.
