There’s more to Battery Maintenance than Watering
The biggest headache in any operation is downtime. When not properly maintained, batteries can cause forklift downtime for charging, maintenance or even replacement. Proper maintenance of your batteries and chargers is crucial to keeping your operation up and running.
Weak or Bad Cell
An undetected weak or bad cell will cause more battery changes and overheating, shortening the life of the battery.
Corrosion
A dirty or corroded battery creates heat build-up that can decrease run time, shorten the battery’s life, and lead to other significant safety hazards.
Damaged Cables
Damaged cables and connectors increase maintenance costs due to false voltage and amp readings, causing intermittent codes and diagnostic problems.
Improper Charging
Improper charging practices can increase charging frequency and shorten the life of your battery.
