Buying Lithium-Ion Forklift Battery for the First Time: Tips and Tricks

by Now Seore Nowseore

If you are looking for the right Lithium-Ion Forklift Battery, you have come to the right place. In this article, we are going to share with you a few tips that may help you avoid getting ripped off when making this purchase. In the end, you don't want to be blindsided by a battery purchase. We recommend that you consider a few important tips before you purchase this battery. Read on for more information.

Scenario of usage

A battery's amp hours vary, and it is easy to buy more power than you need, or to buy less power than you need to finish a job. The power requirements of electric forklifts vary according to the application. We help to ensure that you get enough power for your job-without unnecessary extras-for long runs, full capacity loads, and forklift attachments.

The warranty

Ideally, you should get a battery with a longer warranty. It is not a good idea to buy a battery that doesn't come with one. It is easy to learn about warranty issues and how they are handled by asking for the warranty statement.

Find out if the battery must be sent back for service or if a technician will come to your location to deal with the issue. Also, determine if the parts can be purchased locally.

Type of liquid

In the forklift battery industry, you have two choices: lead-acid batteries and lithium ion batteries (Li Ion). In some forklift batteries, there is distilled or de-ionized water that needs to be topped up every 5 to 10 charge cycles. Each type of battery has its own setup, charging requirements, and price tag. Liquid acts as a barrier between the battery material and the liquid. In the event that the level of the water drops too low and you do not check it properly, the battery life will be significantly reduced.

System for charging

There are different types of batteries. Some batteries work with fast chargers and / or opportunity chargers, and some don't. Similarly, most chargers cannot be converted to meet different voltage needs. Make sure you read the nameplate of your charger and speak with your battery provider to see if it will work with your battery. In general, sealed and lithium-ion batteries will not work with your charger. Ideally, you should contact your battery manufacturer or supplier.

Battery maintenance points for industrial forklifts

Batteries for forklifts can be heavy and dangerous if not handled correctly, so it's important to learn the correct way to handle them. Here are some tips to help you do just that:

In order to move the battery, use special equipment, such as a walkie pallet jack with a transfer carriage. A single person should not attempt to move a forklift battery by themselves due to its weight. When moving batteries, steel-toe shoes should also be worn.

Should any hazardous liquid come into contact with hands or eyes, a hand and eye washing station should be conveniently located nearby so that it can be removed as quickly as possible.

Wearing chemical-resistant protective gear when maneuvering batteries is important. A convenient eye and hand washing station is essential, but chemical-resistant gear should also be worn to prevent the need for the station. This includes safety gloves and safety glasses.
