Charge-Discharge Rules for Lithium-Ion Forklift Batteries

Proper charge and discharge operation is the core factor to ensure the stable performance and long service life of lithium-ion forklift batteries. First of all, users do not need to conduct extra long-time overcharging for new lithium-ion forklift batteries, as the products have completed full performance testing before leaving the factory, and you can directly use the matched special charger for conventional charging according to the indication of remaining power. In the daily discharge process, it is recommended to control the remaining power of the battery not lower than 20% before supplementary charging, avoid using up all the power of the battery to the forced shutdown state for a long time, which may cause irreversible damage to the internal active materials of the battery. It is not allowed to carry out overload discharge operation beyond the rated load of the forklift, otherwise the instantaneous high current will damage the internal protection structure of the battery. When charging, please select a ventilated, cool and dry environment with ambient temperature between 0 and 45 degrees Celsius, avoid charging under direct sunlight exposure or in humid high temperature closed space, do not pull out the charger forcibly in the middle of the charging process for long-time high intensity operation. After the battery is fully charged, it is recommended to end the floating charge within 2 hours, and do not keep the battery connected to the power supply state for more than 24 consecutive hours. For long-term unused lithium-ion forklift batteries, please adjust the remaining power to 40% to 60% before storage, place them in a dry and cool environment, and carry out a full supplementary charge every 3 months to avoid capacity attenuation caused by long-term power loss. Correct implementation of these standardized charge-discharge rules can effectively reduce the failure rate of batteries, lower the comprehensive operation cost of logistics and warehousing enterprises.
