Consider the Fast Charge Option
There is an old rule of thumb regarding recharging forklift batteries. It goes something like: utilize 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 many work applications which run more than one 8 hour shift. The fast charging option has become an extremely common option to conventional charging and ever since its development; a lot of businesses have chosen 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 around 8 hours. Fast charging can now accomplish this same charging in about an hour to an hour and 30 minutes! Numerous businesses use scheduled break and lunch times to accomplish this important task.

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

Temperature-Sensitive Design
These new fast charge batteries have a thermistor placed next to the center cell so as to monitor temperature. When the temperature gets to a specific level, the charge rate is reduced and occasionally even stopped so as to make sure the battery does not overheat. Unfortunately, this method could result in an undercharged battery. There are some specific fast charge brands of batteries which use extra thick posts, copper inserts and inter-cell connectors in order to increase conductivity and reduce heat generation because of the higher current. These features help to allow the battery to accept a higher charge rate for a longer period of time.

These machines have seen their overall production increase significantly ever since the fast charge battery system was developed. In the past, businesses used to need more than one equipment when they were operating around the clock; now they could save a lot of money and utilize one forklift twice as much in a day with by utilizing the fast charging batteries.
