The correct method and precautions for charging electric forklifts.

The main power sources for electric forklifts are batteries and DC motors. Proper use of forklift batteries, including proper charging operations, proper replacement, and other operational issues, is a fundamental function in maintaining the optimal condition of electric forklift components.

Firstly, the charging operation battery of the forklift. Forklift batteries are a relatively fragile aspect. If the maintenance work in this area is done well, the battery life and service life of electric forklifts will be extended, which will reduce work efficiency and accelerate battery usage. Loss, ultimately the battery cannot function properly.

Precautions for forklift charging
1. Forklift drivers should first pay attention to the battery level displayed on the forklift display panel before starting or charging the forklift. It is best to charge the battery when there is still 20% remaining power, and not wait until all the power is used up before charging. Once the forklift's battery is depleted, it will be unable to open the charging area. On the other hand, power depletion has a certain impact on battery life. It is not recommended to check the forklift's electricity meter, regardless of whether the forklift is powered or not. Under normal circumstances, the charging frequency of forklift batteries is about 1400 times. Charging will directly shorten the battery life.

2. forklift lithium batteries must be matched with forklift chargers before charging. Matching charging opportunities will seriously affect the battery's lifespan or directly damage the battery.

3. Charging should be done in a well ventilated area, by opening the top cover or removing the battery from the forklift. When the battery is charging, it is best to open the lid to maintain ventilation. Due to the production of flammable gas hydrogen during the charging process, it is strictly prohibited to expose the battery to open flames. This easily formed explosive gas may cause fires, property damage, and personal injury. Smoking near batteries is strictly prohibited. No flames or sparks are allowed. When storing or charging, be sure to store the battery in a well ventilated place, but do not use it at the air outlet to avoid corrosion caused by acid mist.

4. The connector plug of the charger must be in place. When charging forklift batteries, be sure to insert the cable plug and battery plug of the charger into place. If the battery plug is not inserted, its contact surface will be very small, which will result in high resistance, and excessive resistance will easily lead to combustion.

5. When the forklift battery is charging but it is not full and needs to be used, the pause switch must be turned off first, otherwise the power will flow back, making it easy to burn the charger computer board.

6. The surface or connection of the battery must be kept clean and dry. If there is dust or impurities, please be sure to wipe it with a damp cloth or anti-static cloth. Otherwise, it may cause a short circuit explosion and lead to a fire. It can also cause corrosion of electrodes and connecting strips, thereby damaging the battery.

7. Do not place tools or other metal objects on the battery.
