XII. Usage and maintenance methods for the lead-acid
battery
1. Lead-acid battery and use
The battery is used as the power source to start the engine, and it is used to replace the power supply
of the voltage regulator and overload generators. Light weight, low failure rate, easy to use and
maintain. All batteries are sealed except for maintenance-free batteries which are provided with two
vents (to release gas produced by the battery) on both sides. The low-maintenance lead-acid battery is
provided with a filling hole on the upper cover of battery.
2. Battery storage and maintenance
2.1. Storage requirements for batteries in long-term storage
The battery should be stored in a clean, dry and ventilated environment, and the battery needs to be
recharged once every 3 months.
2.2. Battery maintenance
· Ensure that battery terminal is not corroded, the connecting parts are not loose, there is no external
cracking and the fixing clamp is not loose.
· If the forklift truck has been stored for more than 30 days, in order to maintain the normal charge
state of the battery, the following measures should be taken.
2.3 Battery inspection and maintenance
Inspection of maintenance-free battery
When the battery capacity status is normal and the electrolyte density reaches the standard, the
observation window displays green. When the battery capacity is insufficient, and the density of the
electrolyte is reduced, the observation window displays white. If the observation window displays red,
it indicates a serious shortage of electrolyte, and the case should be carefully checked for cracking,
leakage or battery failure.
1. Green: Sufficiently charged.
2. White: Insufficiently charged.
3. Red: Replace battery.
See the tips on the battery label for details about battery display state.
Maintenance of maintenance-free battery
1) Ensure that the built-in capacity display (observation window) is green;
2) Disconnect the battery negative ground strap to prevent battery discharge due to additional current
drain;
3) When batteries cannot be removed from the forklift truck, they should be kept fully charged;
