Preventing and Handling Swollen Leaking Forklift Batteries

Swollen and leaking batteries are common hidden safety hazards for electric forklifts in daily operation, which may lead to reduced equipment operating efficiency, even safety accidents if not handled properly. First of all, operators should master correct preventive measures in daily use. Before starting the vehicle every day, you need to visually check the outer shell of the battery, observe whether there are traces of extrusion, high temperature baking, and whether the sealing edge is intact. It is not allowed to overcharge the battery during the charging process, you must follow the official specified charging current and voltage parameters, and do not use mismatched charging equipment for long-term charging. In the daily working environment, the battery should be placed in a ventilated, dry and cool area, avoid long-term exposure to high temperature sun or rain soaking. If you find that the battery is slightly swollen in the daily inspection, you should stop using the equipment immediately, do not continue to drive the forklift with overloaded load, and move the battery to an open non-flammable area far from heat sources for isolation treatment. Do not pry or hit the swollen battery shell by force, to avoid causing accidental leakage or even spontaneous combustion. When you find battery leakage, you should first cut off the total power supply of the whole vehicle, wear protective gloves to avoid direct contact between the leaked electrolyte and skin, use special absorbent materials to clean up the leaked liquid, and do not pour the leaked liquid into the domestic sewage channel at will. For new energy electric forklift users, regular professional battery performance detection is a necessary measure to avoid hidden dangers, the technical team of Jianshu New Energy can provide users with targeted battery maintenance guidance, if you have related demands for forklift battery inspection and maintenance, you can send an email to 17399989919@163.com for consultation. The after-sales system of BYD Forklift also has supporting standardized battery operation training courses for operating personnel, helping enterprise logistics teams to establish a complete daily battery management system. It should be noted that once the battery appears serious swelling and a large amount of leakage, do not disassemble the battery without professional qualification, you need to contact the official professional maintenance personnel for follow-up harmless disposal, to ensure that the entire operation process is safe and compliant. Regularly organizing operation personnel to learn battery safety operation specifications can effectively reduce the probability of swelling and leakage failures, extend the overall service life of the forklift battery, and reduce the comprehensive operating cost of the enterprise.
