A correctly selected power source is crucial for the smooth operation of warehouse equipment. Gel batteries for forklifts are a smart choice for businesses looking for reliable and cost-effective solutions. The use of advanced technologies made it possible to create traction batteries with unique characteristics.
Gel batteries in their internal filling differ from acid batteries only in the state of the electrolyte. They have it not in liquid form, but in the form of a gel. From the outside, the difference is also immediately noticeable. Gel batteries do not have plugs to check the density of the electrolyte and top up with distilled water. A separate room is not required for charging them: the gases do not escape.
Gel batteries require attention during charging: you need to monitor the process. Recharging, especially constant, quickly reduces the capacity, and this leads to a reduction in the service life of gel batteries. It is advisable to use chargers that do not allow high voltage. Normal ones with manual adjustment should be turned off in time when fully charged.
Proper operation of gel batteries ensures long-term service. They will justify the costs, ensuring smooth and stable operation of the loader. Important advantages:
The main advantage is a longer service life compared to acid batteries. Gel-like electrolyte significantly reduces the possibility of sulfation and plate corrosion. Gel batteries can withstand more than 1000 cycles of significant discharge. In acid variants, this possibility is up to two times less. Of course, the indicators are quite imprecise, because a lot depends on the materials used by the manufacturer.
Gel batteries are more expensive than lead-acid batteries. This is explained by the use of more expensive materials, environmental cleanliness and maintenance-free construction. The main thing is a greater operating resource.
