Battery Maintenance, Charging & Replacement
This stacker is equipped with two maintenance-free batteries. The battery has the longest
lifespan when the temperature is between 25℃~30℃. Lower temperatures decrease the
available capacity of the batteries, while higher temperatures shorten their lifespan.
Each battery weighs approximately 25kgs.
1 Attention for using battery
Park the stacker securely before carrying out any work on the batteries.
Maintenance personnel: Batteries may only be charged, serviced or replaced by trained
personnel. The present operator manual and the manufacturer’s instructions concerning
batteries and charging stations must be observed when carrying out the work.
Fire protection: Smoking and naked flames must be avoided when working with batteries
Wherever a stacker is parked for charging there shall be no inflammable material or
operating fluids capable of creating sparks within 2 metres around the stacker. The area
must be well ventilated. Fire protection equipment must be provided.
Battery maintenance: Do not place metal objects on the battery, and the battery cell
covers must be kept dry and clean. The terminals and cable shoes must be clean, secure
and have a light coating of dielectric grease. Batteries with non insulated terminals must be
covered with a non slip insulation mat.
Battery Disposal: After the battery is scrapped, please return it to the recycling station for
unified disposal and do not discard it arbitrarily. Batteries may only be disposed of in
accordance with national environmental protection regulations or disposal laws. The
manufacturer’s disposal instructions must be followed.
– Before closing the battery cover make sure that the battery lead cannot be damaged.
– If the battery needs to be replaced, do not mix old and new batteries.
– Try not to use it under overload, high humidity, or steep slopes.
– When charging externally, do not reverse the polarity of the battery, otherwise it may
cause the battery to be scrapped.
– Only batteries with a sealed battery container may be used.
