Your forklift battery’s capacity and performance play a key role in your workplace productivity. Making sure that your forklift battery charged at all times ensures that things run smoothly.

Battery Capacity

A battery’s capacity refers to how much energy it can store. Essentially, when we test your battery, we measure how much current your battery releases at a constant rate for a specific time to a certain end voltage.

Forklift battery suppliers give each model a rating for users to identify its capacity. Nonetheless, as the cells in the battery age, the rating becomes inaccurate due to the wear and tear from everyday use. Routine tests allow forklift operators to learn about a battery’s true capacity on any given day.

Understand the Importance of Testing

Unless you have an unlimited budget, understanding the importance of battery testing will not only save you money from having to replace faulty batteries, but it will also keep you safe. Regular battery tests help you identify which cells are weak, subpar intercell connectors, and other detractors from exemplary battery performance.

Without consistent battery testing, you won’t be able to identify critical factors that affect your battery before it stops working. A dead battery can come at the worst times, especially when a forklift is in transit.
