Running Electric Pallet Trucks in Freezer Warehouses: Battery Tips

When operating electric pallet trucks in low-temperature freezer warehouses, extra attention to battery status is critical to ensure stable operation and extend the whole service life of equipment. The extreme low temperature environment in freezers will slow down the chemical reaction speed inside common power batteries, reduce the available discharge capacity, and extend the required charging time to a certain extent, so operators need to make corresponding adjustment to daily usage and maintenance habits. Before entering the freezer working area every day, it is recommended to move the electric pallet truck to normal temperature buffer zone 30 to 60 minutes in advance, avoid directly moving the equipment that has been stored in normal temperature environment for a long time into the extremely low working space to prevent condensation on battery surface that may cause potential safety risks. During the operation process in the freezer, try to reduce the number of times of taking the equipment out of the low temperature area for charging if possible, frequent sharp temperature changes will cause extra loss to the internal structure of the battery system. It is also suggested to arrange regular professional inspection for the battery pack every two weeks, check the tightness of connecting parts, the stability of heat preservation module of the battery, and timely wipe off the possible frost or water stains on the outer shell of the battery, never use sharp hard objects to scratch the heat preservation layer on the battery surface. When you need to charge the battery, you should move the whole equipment to the special charging area at room temperature, wait until the temperature of the battery rises to the normal room temperature range before starting the formal charging process, do not perform charging operation at a temperature lower than 0 degree Celsius, which may cause irreversible damage to the battery cell. For users who have long-term stable working demands in freezer warehouses, you can choose products that have been specially optimized for low temperature working conditions, BYD Forklift has launched a series of electric handling equipment that adapts to different low temperature scenarios, which can greatly reduce the extra maintenance cost for operators.
