Helpful tips for forklift battery charger maintenance:

Computer controlled systems give your forklift battery improved functionality, but they also add a layer of complexity to maintenance. Because this part of the battery is so complex, many forklift operators think a broken control board requires a total replacement. Our skilled technicians troubleshoot to find the exact source of a problem, and only replace the components that are broken.
Designate an area for battery charging that’s out of the way from high-traffic parts of your facility. The only employees who should charge the battery are those who have received training on the proper procedure. These employees should always double-check to ensure that the battery’s voltage/amperage matches that of the charger. Only add water to the battery once charging is complete.
