How to judge whether the battery of an electric forklift needs to be replaced?

The following indicators can be used to judge whether the battery of an electric forklift needs to be replaced:

1. Extended charging time: If the battery charging time increases significantly, it may indicate that the battery is aging.

2. Reduced endurance: During use, if the working time of the forklift is significantly shortened, it may be a sign of reduced battery performance.

3. Abnormal power display after charging: If the power display after charging is abnormal (for example, it shows full power but the actual endurance is short), the battery may need to be replaced.

4. Appearance inspection: Check whether the battery has swelling, leakage or corrosion, which are all signs of battery damage.

5. Frequent overheating: If the battery often overheats during charging or use, it may indicate that there is a problem with the battery.

6. Battery age: Generally speaking, the service life of lead-acid batteries is about 3 to 5 years, and the service life of lithium-ion batteries can reach 5 to 7 years. Batteries that exceed this time period need to be considered for replacement.

If any of the above problems are found, it is recommended to contact a professional for testing and evaluation.
