What are the hazards of overcharging forklift lithium batteries.

If the electric forklift battery is overcharged, it will cause a large amount of gas to flush the battery plates, which will lead to the detachment of active substances and ultimately reduce the battery's service life. In addition, overcharging of electric 24v forklift batteries can accelerate the rate of water loss, affect the decomposition of electrolyte, and lead to an increase in battery temperature, even self ignition, which is very important. According to survey data, about 20% of miscellaneous electric vehicle batteries will spontaneously ignite after a period of use, especially when overcharged in high temperature weather. Some may only have deformed shells, but there are also significant safety hazards.

Moreover, excessive discharge can also cause the battery plates to soften, ultimately shortening their lifespan. So, in the face of such a situation, how should electric forklift users maintain their batteries? There are many methods to maintain batteries, among which the following are more common:

When driving uphill or against the wind, it is advisable to rely on foot assistance.

Many people rely entirely on electric forklifts during driving, especially when driving uphill or against the wind, and will use acceleration methods. This not only accelerates the loss of battery power, but also causes certain damage to the battery.

2. Do not drive after discharging the battery frequently, and charge it when it is below 30%.

Overcharging a battery is not good for the battery, but it can also be harmful if it is discharged excessively and then recharged. For batteries that have been stored for a long time, it is recommended not to use them immediately. It is better to fully charge them before using them again, as this can protect the battery from damage.
