How to use lithium batteries on forklifts for greater safety.

One major advantage of forklift lithium batteries is their large capacity and long lifespan, which is well-known to everyone. Under the impetus of the overall environment, lithium batteries are receiving increasing attention. However, with the continuous development of the market, lithium batteries have encountered many problems, such as bulging and bursting, which have attracted people's attention. So is lithium batteries really unsafe? Why are there security risks? After analysis and sorting, the main causes of safety hazards are three types: external short circuit, internal short circuit, and overcharging. Here are three possible causes of accidents in lithium batteries that we understand.

External short circuit: refers to the external insulation design of the battery cell, including the internal insulation of forklift lithium batteries, which may also be caused by improper operation. When the battery is discharged, if there is a short circuit outside the battery cell and the electronic components do not cut off the circuit, it will cause the battery temperature to rise. If the temperature is too high, it will cause internal damage or direct damage to the battery, which may be dangerous!

Internal short circuit: Once an internal short circuit occurs, the battery cells of the forklift lithium battery will release current, generate heat, and form gas inside, which will cause internal overvoltage. If the shell cannot withstand it, danger will occur!

Overcharging: When the battery cell is overcharged, it can lead to excessive release of positive electrode lithium, causing structural changes. If the negative lithium is not inserted into the negative electrode, it can also cause deposition on the lithium surface. At this time, the gas produced. Overcharging can lead to various dangerous situations such as leakage, deformation, and fire, and in severe cases, it may cause danger!

Knowing so much about the hidden dangers of forklift lithium batteries, it is very important to choose a reliable and good lithium battery manufacturer. For many years, Yuma Lithium Battery manufacturer has been focusing on customizing forklift lithium batteries and is a trustworthy lithium battery customization manufacturer. We look forward to your inquiry and order. In addition, we have found that many users believe that as long as they are careful during use, malfunctions will not occur, and this understanding is not comprehensive. Because the charging method for forklift lithium batteries is also important and requires attention. In order for everyone to use forklift lithium batteries better and safer, Yuma will explain in detail the things to pay attention to when charging forklift lithium batteries.

Power supply placement: The battery pack has a certain amount of power before leaving the factory and can also be used for short-term use after selling forklifts. After initial use, the battery must be charged first, and initial charging should take longer. In addition, the lithium battery of the forklift has been used up, please charge it in a timely manner. If the lithium battery has not been used up for more than two months, it needs to be fully charged. If the battery has been stored for more than three months, a charging and discharging cycle is required. The regular use of lithium batteries, during normal use and long-term storage, can ensure that the battery pack can play a greater role and extend its lifespan.

Normal charging: The charging steps for the battery pack are as follows: First, connect the charger to the battery pack to be charged, and then plug the charger into a 220V AC power source. This connectivity order can prevent sparks when inserting the charging plug. When charging, the charger displays a red indicator light, indicating that the battery is charging normally. The charging time must strictly follow the instructions in the operation manual.

Maintenance of the charger: In order to ensure the safety of lithium battery charging and the service life of the lithium battery, a lithium battery pack can only be used in conjunction with the lithium battery specific charger provided by the lithium battery manufacturer. If the product is lost or damaged, please purchase from the relevant dealer. Do not use lead-acid chargers or other chargers for charging.

I believe everyone has also noticed that not only do forklifts need to pay attention to the above points when charging lithium batteries, but they are also applicable to all types of batteries.
