Proper handling of lithium batteries for electric forklifts is fundamental to extend service life, ensure on-site operation safety and reduce unnecessary operation cost for logistics, manufacturing and industrial warehousing scenarios. As a professional service provider focused on BYD electric forklifts, Jianxin New Energy summarizes the core practical key factors in standardized lithium battery handling for frontline operators and fleet managers as daily operation reference.

The first key factor lies in full pre-handling condition check. Before any operation related to lithium battery dismounting, charging or cross-site transferring, operators need to wear designated anti-static protective gloves first, and confirm the outer casing of the target battery has no obvious crack, liquid leakage or abnormal bulge. It is not allowed to carry out any follow-up handling operation if abnormal signs are found, and relevant professional technical personnel should be contacted for follow-up assessment and processing in time, to avoid unnecessary safety risks.

The second key factor is standardized charging management during the whole handling process. Operators need to place the lithium battery on the flat, dry and well-ventilated designated charging area before connecting to the matched supporting charging equipment. Do not stack irrelevant sundries on the surface of the battery, and keep the whole charging area far away from high temperature heat source and scattered inflammable items. The ongoing charging process should be inspected at regular intervals, and it is not recommended for operators to leave the site for long time when the battery is in the full fast charging cycle.

The third key factor covers proper storage and transferring rules. When moving lithium batteries between different working areas, use the special matched handling trolley with anti-slip function, avoid strong collision, free drop or violent vibration that may damage the internal structure of the battery. For long-term idle lithium batteries, store them in the dry environment with stable temperature between 5 centigrade to 35 centigrade, and keep the remaining power level between 40% to 60% for regular supplementary charging every 30 days.

Following the above key factors in daily lithium battery handling can effectively reduce potential safety risks, and bring more stable operation performance for the whole electric forklift fleet.
