The industry really seems to be pushing the quick charge or opportune charging system for forklift batteries these days. I have been a sales rep for many years and have seen good luck with the old way of thinking 8 hours of use, 8 hours of charge and 8 hours of cool down with batteries. some customer getting 7 to 9 years out of properly maintained batteries. These new charging system I am starting to see ALOT of positive grid growth with one year old properly maintained batteries. I think it because of the heat generated in the battery during these quick charge session along with unnecessary cycling of the battery. Now when I sell a battery the battery companies ask me what charging system a customer has because if it an quick charge or opportune charge system the warranty goes from 5 years down to 2 years for the same battery. Has anyone else experienced the same situations these days? Its a hard sell to the customer since they are getting wise to what is going on in the industry.
