6.3.6 Charge the battery
(1) Precaution when charging
(a) Each time after the battery is discharged, it should be charged in time. Don’t place
the discharged battery more than a day. If it is left idle for long time without charging,
sulphatized pole plates will make the battery reduce performance.
(b) When the forklift truck is seldom used, it is necessary to charge the battery full
before laying aside and then charge it once a month.
(c) Measure the density when the discharging quantity is thought very weak, when
the density is below 1.160, it is necessary to charge the battery.
(d) Balanced charging is necessary when the density difference is over 0.020, usually
give the battery a balanced charging every two months.
(e) When the time of balanc
ed charging is too more, that is over charging, battery’s
life will be shorten.
(f) If the temperature of electrolyte is above 55
℃
before charging, it is necessary to
leave the battery idle for a period of time, not until the temperature come down can it be
charged.
(g) Overcharging or over discharging could make the temperature of electrolyte go up.
When charging the battery, open the battery cover to radiate heat and ventilate.
(2) Characteristics of full charging battery
(a) The battery voltage of is about 52V (1-2.5t forklift truck with 24 groups batteries,),
or 86.8V (3t forklift truck with 40 groups batteries).
(b) The density of electrolyte is about 1.280g/cm

6.3.7 Storage of battery
(1) Store the battery in dry, clean, proper ventilation warehouse. (5
℃
－
40
℃
)
(2) Let the battery far away from the direct sunshine, insolating and drenching, and
the heat source over 2 meters.
(3) Avoid the battery being upside-down, tailed-flat, knocked or pressed.
(4) Far from any poisonous or mordant things. Forbid any metals and foreign matters
dropping into the battery.
(5) Don’t store the battery with electrolyte. Under special conditions, charge the
battery and adjust the fluid level and density of electrolyte. In the process of storage,
charge the battery according to the common way every month.
