Electric pallet trucks are widely applied in warehouse logistics, retail distribution and light manufacturing scenarios, their built-in power battery is the core component to support stable daily operation. Unintended contact between battery components and water will easily trigger a series of hidden dangers including short circuit, abnormal heat generation, and even abnormal energy release in extreme situations, which may cause unnecessary property loss and threat to operator safety.

For pre-operation daily inspection, operators need to check the appearance of battery housing first before each shift, confirm there is no crack, deformation or sealing strip falling off on the surface, to avoid external water seeping into the inner battery compartment through damaged gaps. Operators also need to check the working environment of the operation route in advance, mark the accumulated water area on the ground of the warehouse or unloading platform in time, and arrange relevant personnel to dry the ground before driving the electric pallet truck to pass through these areas.

For special scenario operation standard, for scenarios that have to involve contact with small amount of water such as cold chain warehouse with condensate water, or outdoor temporary unloading on rainy days, operators should first confirm that the battery protection grade of the electric pallet truck meets the operation requirement, do not immerse the whole body or the bottom battery component in the water for a long time, and avoid splashing a large amount of sewage on the surface of the battery housing during the moving process. After finishing the operation in these special scenarios, operators need to wipe the whole surface of the battery housing with dry clean soft cloth immediately, to remove residual water drops and condensate on the surface.

For waterproof rules in storage and charging links, when parking the electric pallet truck in the designated storage area, users should choose a ventilated and dry zone that is far away from the water pipe leakage point, the cleaning water accumulation area and the outdoor open area that may be drenched by rain. During the whole charging process, the battery compartment should be kept closed tightly, the charging environment should not place open water containers or leave accumulated water on the ground, operators should not use wet cloth to wipe the live battery interface to avoid accidental water contact.

For accidental water contact disposal, if the battery is confirmed to have contact with a large amount of water accidentally, operators must cut off the whole power supply of the electric pallet truck immediately, move the equipment to an open and dry area with no flammable materials, do not restart the equipment or charge the battery blindly, contact professional maintenance personnel to conduct full safety inspection for the battery, and put it into use again only after all hidden dangers are completely eliminated. Developing good daily operation habits can effectively avoid most battery-water-related hazards, create a safer and more stable working condition for logistics operation teams, and reduce unnecessary equipment maintenance cost for enterprises.
