Sooner or later, you are going to have to remove and change the battery from your electric forklift. You may want to remove the battery so it can charge between shifts or overnight, or perhaps it is dead and needs replacing. So when do you know when your forklift battery needs changing? And how should you safely and efficiently change the battery to ensure that all of your forklifts in your Indiana warehouse run smoothly?
The main reason to remove a battery in an electric forklift is so it can charge to full capacity. Most of the time this is a scheduled charge at the end of a shift or overnight. However, a battery can run down faster in extreme temperatures or if you’re carrying especially heavy loads. Just remember to check that your battery is below 20% before changing and charge the battery until it’s completely full.
You will also have to change your battery when it’s completely dead and needs to be replaced. Forklift batteries last approximately five years, given normal use and charge cycles. You may also need to permanently replace your battery when you see corrosion on the battery case or if it no longer holds a charge. Of course, if the battery starts smoking or smells like “rotten eggs”, it needs immediate replacement.
Changing a forklift battery seems easy, but only if you follow all the safety regulations. Batteries are deceptively heavy and can leak gases, chemicals or electrical charges if safety procedures are not adhered to. That’s why it is best to have only those trained to work with batteries do the changing and to have everyone follow these safety tips:
First and foremost, check the instructions located in your user manual. Different manufacturers may have different procedures, and they should always supersede any other instructions. Never improvise or work on intuition, or you may just find out why these safety precautions are in place.
However, the general principle of changing a forklift battery entails three steps:
