Compared to fuel powered forklifts, electric forklifts have more stable performance and easier learning and operation. However, electric forklifts have a prominent problem of insufficient durability. It is often found that forklifts consume a huge amount of electricity during acceleration. So, why do electric forklifts need to consume so much electricity?
① After a fully charged electric forklift is parked for a long time, although the vehicle is not in use, the battery will continue to discharge. Therefore, even a forklift that appears to be fully charged will immediately lose one to two grids of electricity when accelerating, and the lost electricity is actually virtual. If the battery of an electric forklift is stored and discharged for too long, the electrolyte inside the battery may change, resulting in a decrease in the ability to store electrical energy.
② After long-term use of electric forklifts, their circuits may experience aging. At this time, the resistance of the forklift will increase, which will cause the storage capacity of the battery to transfer between circuits. Due to excessive resistance, the current will decrease, and even if the battery is fully charged, the stability of the current will also decrease.
③ If a battery in an electric forklift malfunctions, it can also cause similar problems. During long-term use, if a battery has a problem, its resistance will increase. This will result in a corresponding decrease in battery power. If the electric vehicle battery is found to be low and the phenomenon of virtual charge is severe, it is necessary to check whether the battery is damaged.
