Introduction

Heli forklifts are essential tools in industrial and warehouse operations. Proper maintenance of their batteries is crucial for ensuring efficiency and longevity. This guide provides detailed insights into maintaining Heli forklift batteries effectively.

Understanding Heli Forklift Batteries

Heli forklift batteries are usually lead-acid batteries. Understanding their specifications helps in proper maintenance.

Key parameters include:

• Voltage: Usually 24V, 36V, 48V, or 80V
• Capacity: Ranges from 200Ah to 1000Ah
• Weight: Can weigh between 500 kg to 1500 kg

Maintenance Practices for Heli Forklift Batteries

Maintaining a heli forklift battery involves several key practices:

Regular Inspection

Regular checks help identify potential issues before they escalate. Inspections should be conducted weekly.

• Check for corrosion on terminals
• Ensure battery casing is free from cracks
• Check electrolyte levels and top-up with distilled water as necessary

Charging Protocols

Use the correct charging procedures to maximize battery lifespan.

• Charge at a temperature range of 15-25°C (59-77°F)
• Ensure complete charging cycles; partial charges can lead to sulfation
• Use chargers with proper voltage and current settings as per battery rating

Cleaning and Storage

Proper cleaning and storage extend battery life.

• Clean terminals using a mixture of baking soda and water to neutralize acid
• Store batteries in a dry, temperature-controlled environment when not in use
