Discharging the battery
Z
To achieve an optimum useful life avoid operational discharges of more than 60% of
nominal capacity.
Z
If the battery is discharged during operation by more than 80% of rated capacity the
useful life of the battery will reduce significantly. Fully or partially discharged batteries
must be re-charged immediately and not left unattended.
5.2.3
Charging the battery
WARNING!
The gases produced during charging can cause explosions
The battery gives off a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen (electrolytic gas) during
charging. Gassing is a chemical process. This gas mixture is highly explosive and
must not be ignited.
u
Always disconnect the charger and truck before connecting or disconnecting the
charger and battery.
u
The charger must be adapted to the battery in terms of voltage, charge capacity
and battery technology.
u
Before charging, check all cables and plug connections for visible signs of
damage.
u
Ventilate the room in which the truck is being charged.
u
Battery cell surfaces must remain exposed during charging in order to ensure
sufficient ventilation, see truck operating instructions, chapter D, Charging the
Battery.
u
Do not smoke and avoid naked flames when handling batteries.
u
Wherever an industrial truck is parked for charging there must be no inflammable
material or consumables capable of creating sparks within a minimum distance of
2,5 m from the truck.
u
Fire protection equipment must be available.
u
Do not place any metallic objects on the battery.
u
Always follow the safety regulations of the battery and charger station
manufacturers.
