In recent years, electric battery-powered material handling equipment has become the mainstream choice for warehousing, manufacturing and logistics scenarios, thanks to its low noise, zero local emission and stable operating performance. The power battery is the core component that supports the normal operation of all related material handling equipment, so mastering correct battery-related operation knowledge is a required course for every frontline operator.

First, standard pre-operation check is the basic guarantee for smooth daily work. Before starting any shift, operators need to do quick appearance check for the battery pack, confirm there is no obvious deformation, crack or liquid leakage on the shell, check the power connection port is free of dust, sundries and loose contact, and confirm the remaining power level meets the demand of the day's scheduled tasks. If any abnormal sign is found during the check, operators shall report to the management personnel in time instead of starting the equipment forcibly, to avoid potential safety risks or unexpected downtime during operation.

Second, standardized operation during the whole working process can effectively extend the service life of the battery and reduce unnecessary wear. Operators should avoid frequent sharp acceleration and sharp brake under heavy load status, which will cause instantaneous high current output of the battery and bring extra load to the internal structure. Do not use the electric material handling equipment in the environment with temperature far beyond the specified operating range for a long time, avoid violent collision to the battery pack position when stacking, picking up and transporting goods, keep stable driving and handling rhythm to ensure the battery works in a mild and efficient state.

Third, proper post-shift maintenance can keep the battery in good condition for a long term. After finishing daily work, operators need to park the equipment in the designated area, cut off the main power supply, check the remaining power of the battery. When the remaining power is lower than 20%, arrange timely charging in the special charging area, avoid long-term storage under low power status. During charging, keep the surrounding of battery well ventilated, do not block the heat dissipation holes of the battery pack, and do not stack flammable and explosive materials within 1 meter of the charging area.
