With the development in recent years, the country has begun to encourage the production of environmentally friendly and energy-saving low-carbon machinery and equipment. It should be said that the spring of electric forklifts is ushered in. When buying an electric forklift, the forklift manufacturer will remind you to add water to the battery of the electric forklift within a certain period of time, but you can't add tap water or pure water, you must use distilled water. So why do you need to add distilled water to the forklift battery? The following HITOP Machinery will answer in detail for you!
During the charging and discharging process of the battery, due to electrolysis and evaporation, the water in the electrolyte will gradually decrease, thereby causing the electrolyte level to drop. If it is not replenished in time, it may shorten the service life of the forklift battery. The supplemental water should be distilled water, and should not be replaced with pure drinking water. Because the purified water contains a variety of trace elements, it will have an adverse effect on the forklift battery.
Ordinary batteries used in electric stackers should be replenished with water once a month, and other types of batteries should be supplemented with distilled water on a regular basis depending on the water consumption. For batteries that are not in use temporarily, it can be postponed for several months to replenish water. After replenishing the battery, the battery should be recharged in an appropriate amount. If some batteries have a rapid liquid level drop and frequent water replenishment, check whether the limit voltage of the regulator on the car is adjusted too high. Too high will cause overcharging, high water consumption, and fast evaporation. This situation can be solved by adjusting the limit voltage. If some batteries drop quickly, check whether there is a short circuit. In addition, it also depends on whether there are cracks in the battery tank and whether the electrolyte leaks. It is necessary to judge the actual situation before handling.
The battery of the electric pallet truck is running normally. Only water can be added, and electrolyte must not be added! If the battery of the electric stacker is dumped and the electrolyte is drained, the electrolyte can be replenished. Replenishing the electrolyte of the electric forklift should be supplemented according to the original electrolyte density. Sometimes the forklift cannot be started. Many people think that it is caused by insufficient battery storage. Electrolyte is often added to the battery. The result is counterproductive and greatly shortens the service life of the battery.
The above is the introduction of forklift battery and distilled water. If you have any other questions, you can consult us at any time.
