Battery Filling Systems

In warm, dry conditions, battery water evaporates much faster, especially when re-charging regularly.

Running with low battery water causes reduced performance, and eventually, permanent damage to your battery!

Be sure to keep your batteries topped up, using one of our range of battery filling systems.

Also install our Smart Blinky water monitor systems on your batteries, so you can easily see whenever a top up is needed.

The best forklift truck can only serve you well if its battery is working properly. Linde Material Handling delivers first-class quality.

Nevertheless, follow our tips to maintain the long service life of your lead-acid battery and prevent unwanted interruptions to work:

• Always charge them with the appropriate forklift battery accessories.
• Always ensure that the traction batteries still have around 20 per cent battery capacity when recharging. If the battery is not recharged until it is completely discharged, it may overheat and cause considerable damage to the battery.
• Always recharge an empty forklift battery as quickly as possible and do not leave it uncharged for some time. Lead-acid batteries discharge themselves when not in use.
• For safety reasons, make sure that there are no flammable objects in the vicinity of the charger and battery during the charging process. In addition, any fire-related activities in the hold should be avoided.
• Forklift batteries lose water during the charging process. To prevent damage to the battery, you should check the fill level regularly and always ensure that there is sufficient demineralised water in the battery. Use our battery filling systems for this purpose.

Every lead-acid battery for forklift trucks must always be filled with sufficient water. We offer special battery filling systems to ensure the required water level. This important forklift battery accessory makes it possible to automatically adjust the nominal electrolyte level. Proceed as follows to ensure the necessary water equalisation of your traction batteries:

• Provide each battery cell with a suitable plug to connect the battery filling system to the forklift battery.
• Insert a valve and a float into each cell through the plug.
• Once you have connected all the cells, you can easily top up with distilled water.

Further important information:

• Make sure that you only fill the battery with water after charging. As water is produced by chemical processes during the charging process, the forklift battery could otherwise overflow. This would cause toxic battery acid to escape.
• Never fill a traction battery with water without a suitable filling system. If too much or too little water is used, this can quickly damage the battery.

A battery water system from Linde Material Handling is an essential and important accessory for the efficient operation of your forklift trucks. It makes filling much more convenient and saves you time. You no longer need to check the water level in the battery after every charge, the system always keeps it at an optimum level. It is therefore worth relying on tried and tested forklift truck battery accessories for this procedure, which can have far-reaching consequences if carried out incorrectly.

The battery is the most important component of the truck. Care and maintenance of the energy storage system are therefore essential. The right forklift battery accessories help to utilise the full performance potential of the forklift battery and significantly extend its service life. In addition, suitable battery accessories ensure safe filling so that there is no danger from leaking toxic battery acid and downtime in work processes is avoided. Fast and efficient filling also means that your employees can use the time saved for more profitable activities.
