Consider the Fast Charge Option

There is an old rule of thumb regarding recharging forklift batteries. It goes something like: use a battery for 8 hours, charge it for 8 hours and then finally, let it cool for 8 hours. This formula has changed for many work applications which run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging choice has become an extremely common option to conventional charging and since its development; numerous businesses have opted to make the switch.



What Are the Advantages of Fast Charging?



Less Charging Time

It may take a standard charger to charge a battery from 20% charged to 100% charged in approximately 8 hours. Fast charging can now accomplish this same charging in roughly an hour to an hour and a half! A lot of businesses utilize scheduled break and lunch times to complete this vital job.



Easier Refills

Usually, fast charge batteries also need a single-point watering system. This system means that users do not have to remove the battery from the forklift in order to water it.



Temperature-Sensitive Design

There is a thermistor placed near the center cell on each new fast charge battery that helps it to monitor temperature. The charge rate is reduced and may sometimes stop when the temperatures get to a specific level. This is important so that the battery does not overheat. This method can unfortunately lead to an undercharged battery. There are some particular fast charge brands of batteries that use inter-cell connectors, extra thick posts and copper inserts in order to decrease heat generation and increase conductivity because of the higher current. These features help to allow the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer time period.



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