How does the automatic forklift battery filling system work?

It is necessary to be clear that the batteries of the forklifts must have a basic maintenance that guarantees its good operation, durability and all the benefits. For this reason, it is necessary to take into account that it is necessary to refill the water properly or to carry out the corresponding charging and cleaning tasks correctly. In this sense, to ensure that everything goes according to plan and without surprises, it is best to have a good automatic forklift battery filling system.

When filling the water for the forklift truck battery, there are a few things to keep in mind. For example, it is best to use distilled water to ensure that it does not contain too many impurities, and the electrolyte level should be kept above the battery plate to prevent moisture from damaging the battery.

All this can be a complicated task if you don’t have the right equipment. However, it becomes a simple task thanks to automatic filling systems. Do you want to know how it works?

Operation of the automatic forklift truck battery filling system

If you take the correct maintenance of your battery as seriously as we do, we recommend that you watch this video and keep it in a visible place to remember it. In it you will be able to see how the forklift battery filling system works , although we will try to explain it here so that there is no room for doubt.

One of the great advantages of using this forklift battery filling system is the time saving. It will be done in a faster, safer and more efficient way than if it were done manually and in a traditional way. In addition, thanks to the automation of the system, we ensure the correct water level.

Its operation is possible thanks in large part to one of its star components, the float level plugs. It is precisely these plugs that allow all of the battery cups to be filled with water at the same time and at the correct level.

For this to happen, it is necessary that the float of the plug rises above the water level inside the battery. As it rises above the water level, it automatically closes the water inlet. This provides an empty safety space that prevents water from spilling out when there is an excess. This ensures the correct water level for the battery at the same time.

On what type of batteries can the automatic filling system be used?

All this automatic filling system of forklift battery is widely used in traction batteries as well as in solar batteries. They are used to improve the performance of the battery thanks to the placement of a BFS plug on each element. These plugs are connected to each other through the different tubes to ensure their operation.
