Forklift Battery Charging and Safe Installation
Batteries utilized in forklifts are costly pieces of equipment which are fairly large weighing many pounds. The task of charging and installation of these batteries is something that would need to be really planned out ahead of time in order to make sure that these methods are able to be done correctly and safely. Maintaining a sound charging procedure and proper handling can really increase the standard lifespan of a battery.

Standard Charging
It is recommended that the battery is not connected to the charger until it is at or less than 20 percent capacity. By charging the battery when it is more than 20 percent, the battery's lifespan could really be shortened. On roughly every 5th charge cycle, the charger should be set on the equalize or weekend setting, depending on what type of charger you are using.

The cycle of charging should not get interrupted. You should avoid using the battery for a few hours when the charge cycle is complete. By practicing these procedures, you can help ensure that you get the maximum battery performance available.

Charger Maintenance
Be sure to have the charger turned off while in the process of hooking up the battery to the charger. Connect the charger to the battery and not the forklift. This is a common mistake which can inadvertently cause damage to both the charger and the forklift. In addition, it is very essential that the amperage of the battery must match that of the charger.

Do not ever allow the battery to completely discharge or to deep discharge. This would shorten the battery life significantly and could even prevent the charger from being able to start. If the battery charger reads that there is no battery activity, it will not start the charge cycle. If this situation happens, a technician must be called to be able to re-set the charger prior to charge being able to start.
