Electric Forklift Battery Choices for Cold Storage

In cold storage working scenarios where the ambient temperature usually stays between minus 18 degrees Celsius and minus 30 degrees Celsius, ordinary electric forklift batteries often face obvious capacity attenuation, slow discharge speed and shortened cycle life, which will interfere with normal material handling progress and bring extra operation cost for logistics operators. When choosing suitable electric forklift batteries for such special low temperature scenarios, the first core factor to evaluate is the low temperature discharge performance of the products. Qualified dedicated batteries for cold storage should maintain over 85 percent of their rated capacity even under long-term working environment of minus 25 degrees Celsius, to guarantee enough continuous working hours for daily peak operation of warehouse teams. The second point to take into consideration is the built-in thermal management structure of the battery pack. Reasonable integrated insulation and temperature control design will avoid extra space occupation on the forklift body, and the intelligent pre-heating function will automatically start before charging, to prevent negative impact on battery service life caused by direct charging under ultra-low temperature status. The third key evaluation standard is the compatibility with the existing forklift management system, which can help operation managers check real time battery status, remaining power and remaining available working hours conveniently on the original operation panel. Many cold storage operators used to meet unexpected power outage of forklifts in the middle of cargo handling process, which will delay the delivery schedule and bring extra labor cost, and choosing properly matched low-temperature resistant batteries can effectively avoid such common problems.

Besides proper product selection, doing regular daily maintenance work well will also help extend the whole service life of the battery, including avoiding long term full load discharge under ultra-low temperature environment, arranging regular voltage balance test for the battery pack, and placing the forklift in the normal temperature charging area to complete full charge after finishing the daily shift.
