Adding water to a forklift battery is an important part of battery maintenance, helping to maintain its capacity and extending its service life and uptime. This not only reduces downtime and increases productivity, but also reduces the cost of replacing batteries.
Forklift lead-acid battery in the daily charging process, the water in the electrolyte will be electrolyzed to hydrogen and oxygen, especially at the end of the charging period, the temperature of the electrolyte at this time is very high, the chemical reaction in the forklift battery is very intense, the electrolyte will bubble, the battery will heat up, and the water in the electrolyte will be easier to be electrolyzed as hydrogen and oxygen. Over time, the forklift battery will be short of water.
Not all water can be used to add water to forklifts, for example, tap water contains dissolved minerals and salts that accumulate on battery panels over time, severely shortening battery life and running time. Therefore, deionized water is generally used, through the process of deionization of dissolved minerals and salts in the water, deionized water can also reduce battery corrosion, is considered to be the best choice for maintaining lead-acid batteries.
