The electric pallet truck produced by the pallet truck manufacturer is a kind of logistics storage equipment driven by electricity. Its power is mainly supplied by batteries. The batteries of electric pallet truck are usually lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries. Although the battery of electric pallet truck is transforming from lead-acid battery to lithium battery, the current mainstream battery is lead-acid battery, both in China and abroad. Therefore, enterprises and forklift operators should carefully study the relevant knowledge of lead-acid batteries. Today, the pallet truck manufacturer will tell you about the causes of damage to lead-acid batteries.

Inaccurate charging operation is a serious problem. Many forklift operators charge the electric pallet truck in their spare time. This seems to make full use of time and improve work efficiency, but it is very harmful to the battery. We need to arrange a detailed charging plan according to the battery life when we buy an electric pallet truck, and use a complete period of time to charge, without overcharging or over-discharging. This can extend the service life and save a lot of money. This is because the charging times of all batteries are limited. The pallet truck manufacturer told you that most industrial batteries have 1500 charging cycles, which is equivalent to 5 years of normal use. If the battery is charged frequently and intermittently, the service life of the battery will be shortened.
In addition, incorrect operation during water replenishment will also damage the battery. To maintain the power of the electric pallet truck, it is necessary to carry out the correct steps at the right time. If you add water before the battery is fully charged, it may lead to the overflow of sulfuric acid and the imbalance of the proportion of electrolyte, resulting in voltage problems. This is not only easy to cause safety problems for forklift operators, but also affects the normal use of the electric pallet truck, and costs a lot of time and money for maintenance. The correct operation is to add distilled water every 1-3 weeks. The pallet truck manufacturer recommends that the forklift operator regularly monitor the water level of the battery of the electric pallet truck.
It is also important to use the wrong charger to charge the electric pallet truck, which will cause great trouble. The specifications of the chargers used by different brands and models of all electric pallet trucks are different. If forklift operators often mix chargers of different brands or models of electric pallet trucks, it is easy to damage the battery over time. The pallet truck manufacturer told you that each charger is specially tailored for batteries with specific size and capacity, and should not be used at will.

The last point is that unreasonable charging and operating temperature will also damage the battery of the electric pallet truck. Lead-acid batteries are suitable for operation at 30-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Beyond this range, they will be adversely affected. The ideal temperature range for battery charging of electric pallet truck is 50-86 degrees Fahrenheit. The pallet truck manufacturer reminds that it is necessary to work and charge in a suitable environment.
