Consider the Fast Charge Option
There is an old rule of thumb about recharging forklift batteries. It goes something like: use a battery for 8 hours, charge it for 8 hours and then lastly, allow it to cool for 8 hours. This formula has changed for a lot of work applications that run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging alternative has become an extremely popular option to traditional charging and ever since its evolution; numerous businesses have opted to make the switch.

What Are the Advantages of Fast Charging?

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

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

Temperature-Sensitive Design
There is a thermistor located next to the center cell on each new fast charge battery which helps it to monitor temperature. The charge rate is reduced and may sometimes stop when the temperatures get to a particular level. This is important so that the battery does not overheat. Unfortunately, this method can result in an undercharged battery. There are some particular fast charge battery brands that use inter-cell connectors, extra thick posts and copper inserts so as to increase conductivity and reduce heat generation because of the higher current. These features help to enable the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer time period.

The overall production of these equipment has been greatly enhanced ever since the development of the fast charge battery system. In the past, companies used to need more than one machine when they were operating around the clock; nowadays they could use one forklift twice as much in a day and save much money by using the fast charging batteries.
