This is a very important topic that you must understand, because they are more important and more expensive than forklifts. As one of the top forklift service companies in China, we have dealt with this problem. Many customers have purchased our ride-on electric forklifts, electric tractors, electric picking trucks, small electric trucks, small electric stackers and other electric warehousing vehicles. Equipment, many customers report that after using the battery for a period of time, the battery cannot be charged, or the charger is broken! This is a very bad signal!
A professional electric forklift maintenance technician may easily avoid this problem, because battery maintenance and charger management of forklifts are very important. Chargers are not very expensive, but batteries are indeed very expensive. If your company has a very large If you have a fleet of electric forklifts, then I suggest you set up a position like this: a forklift maintenance engineer who specializes in maintaining the electric forklifts used by the company. This can effectively reduce the forklift failure rate and reduce the cost of forklift use.
If the battery or charger of your electric forklift is broken, then today's topic is very useful for you. We will use professional knowledge to tell you how you should choose the battery or charger.
Forklift battery options
An electric forklift is a big investment. Obtaining a suitable battery pairing will ensure that the battery has a longer service life, allowing your forklift to complete various handling and stacking tasks normally. When the forklift battery breaks down, Your choice may only be to replace the battery, so whether it is a new battery or a refurbished battery, this is your choice.
1. First, determine the size of your battery compartment, and then purchase a battery suitable for your forklift based on this size.
2. Pay attention to the battery capacity and whether it can meet the daily needs of your forklift.
3. The brand of the battery is more important.
4. Communicate appropriately with the battery service provider to learn more about the type of battery you purchased and knowledge on care and maintenance, so as to reduce the battery scrap rate.
Forklift battery charger options
Forklift battery chargers are also relatively easy to break. I have indeed seen many customers' chargers break. Today's forklift chargers generally have charging protection and smart charging functions, but if you manage the forklift charging time well, Then the charger is prone to problems. It would be a very bad thing if there is no charger that can charge normally. Therefore, many customers served by our company choose backup chargers. When there is a problem with the charger, a backup charger is used to fill the gap. .
Please remember that it is easy to tell if the charger is broken. After buying the forklift, you need to force charge it to activate it, otherwise the use time will be very short. When charging fails, we can use the troubleshooting method to find out whether there is a problem with the battery or the charger. If the charger indicator light is abnormal and the battery cannot be charged, you can first change to a normal charger. Try charging it. If it still doesn't work, you can basically determine that there is a problem with the battery. If you change the charger and charge it normally, it is obvious that there is a problem with the charger. At this time, you need to buy a new charger. . How to choose a forklift charger?
1. Forklift charger matching the battery brand.
2. The purchase cost and service life of the charger must be taken into consideration. Generally, I recommend buying a good charger. A forklift has a normal lifespan of 5-10 years.
3. Check whether the charging cable of the charger can meet your requirements. Generally, forklift charging has a fixed location, which generally requires ventilation and keeping away from fire sources, so you must first understand the direct distance from the charging socket to the forklift parking space.
4. If you cannot find a charger that matches the battery, you must ensure that the output voltage of the charger you purchase is the same as the output voltage of the battery, otherwise it will damage the battery.
5. Make sure the charger is compatible with the forklift charging panel socket.
6. Purchase a charger with smart charging function, otherwise careless charging may cause damage to the battery.
