Why is the battery of the electric pallet truck overheated?

Electric pallet truck is a kind of logistics equipment that uses battery as power source and motor as power to carry goods. It is widely used because of its time-saving, labor-saving, simple operation, safe driving, environmental protection and noiseless. Therefore, the battery is an important part of the electric pallet truck, which requires the driver to pay attention to at any time and maintain it regularly. If you find that the battery is overheated or even hot, you must pay attention to it. It will cause great damage to the electric pallet truck, and even lead to safety problems. So, what is the cause of the battery burning? The electric pallet truck manufacturer came to answer the question.

If the battery of the electric pallet truck is overheated during charging, there may be several reasons: less electrolyte in the battery increases the internal resistance, voltage and battery temperature; The battery is aging; There is a short circuit problem inside the battery. If these problems occur, be sure to avoid overcharging the battery and repair it in time to prevent shortening the battery life. If the battery is overheated during operation, it may be that the battery itself has a small capacity and the working time is too long, resulting in the current exceeding 0.5C for a long time. It should be widely known that although the internal electric energy of the battery has been consumed after a period of work, the battery will have a recovery process. During this period, the electrification of the electrode plate continues and the voltage will rise. However, the electric pallet truck manufacturer reminds that if the electrification of the electrode plate and the consumption of electric energy are carried out at the same time for a long time, the following situations will occur.

The best situation is that the electrochemical reaction of the battery of the electric pallet truck can supply enough power, and the battery will operate normally. The second situation is that the current in the battery increases and the voltage decreases, which will cause damage to the battery. The third situation is that the electrochemical reaction can only keep the electric pallet truck moving slowly on the flat ground. In case of uphill or acceleration, the electric energy consumption will increase, resulting in a sharp reaction of the electrode plate and the battery becoming hot. In addition, the electric pallet truck manufacturer reminded that the battery should not be laid horizontally or upside down at ordinary times, otherwise it would easily lead to a large amount of gas inside the battery that could not be eliminated and there would be a risk of explosion.

It is normal that the battery of the electric pallet truck is slightly hot, but if it is overheated, you must pay attention to it and solve it in time. Overheated battery may cause rapid evaporation of electrolyte, lower charging efficiency, deformed or even burned electrode plate, and accelerated oxidation of mechanical parts, which has a great impact on battery life. Therefore, the electric pallet truck manufacturer told us that we should pay more attention to the battery condition at ordinary times and carry out regular maintenance.
