Battery Maintenance

New batteries are expensive. A replacement one equivalent to an average size will be around $6,000. The quickest way to half a batteries lifespan is to run them dry through slack maintenance.

Battery maintenance

1. Make sure battery is plugged into forklift

2. Where possible utilise forklift until battery is 80% discharged

3. When battery is 80% discharged or at the end of a shift, allow a 30 minute cool down period.

4. After cool down period, plug battery into charger.

5. After full charge cycle, allow a 30 minute cool down period and plug battery back into forklift.

6. Check water levels once a week.

Please note

a) Battery usage will vary depending upon your application

b) Only ever top water levels up after a full charge cycle.

c) Topping up water is to 20mm above splash plate (this is what you actually see when looking inside a battery cell).

It is recommended that a specific morning that the batteries are topped up eg, every Monday morning and then regularly check that it is continuing to be done.
