electric forklifts have become core operation equipment for modern warehousing, manufacturing and logistics scenarios, whose operating cost and working efficiency are closely linked to the performance and lifespan of the supporting power batteries. Many operators do not realize that small adjustments to daily usage habits can effectively extend the usable cycles of the battery, avoiding unnecessary extra cost on battery replacement and reducing the downtime of the whole fleet.
First of all, develop standardized charging habits. It is not recommended to drain the battery to the extremely low cut-off point before starting charging, which will cause extra burden to the internal active materials of the battery. Meanwhile, do not leave the battery connected to the charger for long time after it is fully charged, to avoid continuous overcharging that may accelerate the aging of internal components. The charging site should be kept dry and ventilated, with ambient temperature maintained between 0℃ and 40℃, do not start charging immediately when the battery is exposed to direct strong sunlight or low temperature environment below zero, which can effectively protect the internal chemical activity of the battery.
Secondly, follow proper daily usage and storage rules. Avoid long time continuous high-load discharge under full load operation condition, do not carry out frequent aggressive acceleration and instant deceleration operations that bring large instantaneous current output. Clean the dust, water stain and other sundries on the battery surface regularly, check the tightness of connection terminals on a fixed cycle, to avoid poor contact caused by oxidation. For long term storage of the idle battery, do not keep it under low power state for more than 2 weeks, arrange supplementary charge properly to keep the battery power within the reasonable range.
Thirdly, use matching supporting facilities correctly. Do not use chargers that do not match the rated parameters of the battery, follow the official operation guide of the electric forklift to carry out relevant operations. All the above habits are easy to implement in daily operation, which can bring obvious improvement to the overall battery cycle performance.
