Did you know that the drive battery accounts for around 1/3 of the total cost of an electric truck? Accordingly, it is important that the battery is fully efficient and, above all, has a maximum service life. This is the only way to avoid high costs later on. Poor care and cleaning can degrade a battery, reduce the maximum driving times and thus accelerate the discharge even further. This leads to time-consuming intermediate charges. The battery is therefore the heart of an electrically powered forklift truck and should therefore be regularly checked and maintained. With our battery service, we can detect defects at an early stage, increase the life cycle of a battery, reduce downtimes and prevent costly repairs in advance.

Notes for the care of traction batteries

Apart from the required inspections, operators of forklift trucks and warehouse equipment can contribute to the preservation of the batteries themselves.

Charge the battery and ensure that the charging gases produced during charging are completely extracted.
After battery charging, check the electrolyte level (electrolyte level sensor recommended).
Checking the connectors, plug connections and connecting cables for possible damage

Connect the battery to the charger over the weekend or during longer periods of standstill for automatic equalisation charging.
Refill with purified water after charging (water refill system recommended).

Accessories for the right care

Battery service board

Our battery service board offers you optimum protection and assistance for the daily charging and checking of your lead-acid batteries.
The board provides you with the necessary maintenance accessories, such as gloves, protective goggles and eye wash, in a central location and within easy reach.
In addition, the board provides useful information on the correct charging of lead-acid batteries. Thus, with the battery service board, you not only increase safety at the workplace, but also accelerate the smaller care and maintenance work on your batteries even further.

Battery service case

We also offer you our practical battery service case for easy and uncomplicated battery care and maintenance on the road. This is recommended, for example, for vehicles with a charger integrated in the vehicle, which can theoretically be charged anywhere in operation using suitable power sources.
