Consider the Fast Charge Option
There is an old rule of thumb about recharging batteries of forklifts. It goes something like: use a battery for 8 hours, charge it for 8 hours and then finally, allow it to cool for 8 hours. This formula has changed for lots of work operations that run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging alternative has become an extremely popular alternative to conventional charging and since its evolution; numerous companies have chosen to make the switch.

What Are the Advantages of Fast Charging?

Less Charging Time
It may take a typical charger to charge a battery from 20% charged to 100% charged in roughly 8 hours. Fast charging could now accomplish this same charging in roughly an hour to an hour and 30 minutes! Many companies utilize scheduled break and lunch times to accomplish this important job.

Easier Refills
The fast charge batteries would usually need a single-point watering system. This system means that users do not need to remove the battery from the lift truck in order to water it.

Temperature-Sensitive Design
There is a thermistor placed near the center cell on each new fast charge battery that helps it to monitor temperature. The charge rate is reduced and could occasionally stop when the temperatures get to a particular level. This is key so that the battery does not overheat. Unfortunately, this method can lead to an undercharged battery. There are several specific fast charge battery brands that use inter-cell connectors, extra thick posts and copper inserts so as to increase conductivity and reduce heat generation due to the higher current. These features help to enable the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer time period.

The overall productivity of these machines has been greatly better ever since the development of the fast charge battery system. In the past, businesses used to need more than one equipment when they were operating around the clock; nowadays they can save much money and use one lift truck twice as much in a day with by using the fast charging batteries.
