Consider the Fast Charge Option

When it comes to recharging the battery of a forklift, there is an old rule of thumb that goes something like this: use the battery for a shift of roughly 8 hours, charge it for 8 hours and after that allow it to cool and rest for another 8 hours. This formula has changed for numerous work applications which run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging choice has become a really common alternative to traditional charging and ever since its evolution; numerous companies have opted to make the switch.



What Are the Advantages of Fast Charging?



Less Charging Time

Where the average charger and battery was concerned, re-energizing a battery from a 20% state of charge up to a full 100% charge used to take roughly 8 hours. Fast charging can now accomplish this same charging in approximately an hour to an hour and 30 minutes! A lot of companies use scheduled lunch and break times to accomplish this important job.



Easier Refills

The fast charge batteries would usually need a single-point watering system. This system means that users do not require removing the battery from the forklift in order to water it.



Temperature-Sensitive Design

These new fast charge batteries have a thermistor placed next to the center cell so as to monitor temperature. Once the temperature gets to a specific level, the charge rate is reduced and occasionally even stopped so as to make sure the battery does not overheat. Unfortunately, this method can lead to an undercharged battery. There are several particular fast charge battery brands that utilize extra thick posts, copper inserts and inter-cell connectors so as to decrease heat generation and increase conductivity due to the higher current. These features help to enable the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer time period.



These equipment have seen their overall productivity increase greatly ever since the fast charge battery system was developed. Before, businesses used to require more than one machinery when they were operating around the clock; nowadays they can use one lift truck twice as much in a day and save a lot of money by utilizing the fast charging batteries.
