Development of Onboard Charger

图片
  As the automotive industry undergoes a monumental shift towards electrification, the spotlight is increasingly focused on the development of  on board charger  (OBCs) – the essential component responsible for replenishing electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The current landscape of OBC development is marked by rapid advancements aimed at addressing key challenges and enhancing the overall charging experience for EV owners. Let's delve into the exciting progress and innovations driving this critical technology forward. Power and Efficiency Optimization: One of the primary focuses in OBC development is maximizing charging power while simultaneously improving energy efficiency. Manufacturers are investing significant resources into research and development to achieve higher power outputs without compromising on efficiency. By leveraging advanced power electronics and intelligent charging algorithms, modern OBCs can deliver  faster charging  speeds while minimizing e...

Safety Checklist for Forklift Battery Charging Areas

图片
  A  forklift battery charger station  is a potentially dangerous environment which should be manned by trained employees to reduce the risk of accidents. Explosions, acid burns, musculoskeletal injuries, and the risk of electric shocks are all potential risks when changing and charging forklift batteries. OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.178(g) addresses these risks by establishing a standard forklift battery charging procedure and forklift battery charging area requirements. The following checklist helps meet OSHA standards and improve workplace safety at your charging station. Forklift Battery Charging  Area Requirements Forklift battery charging area requirements must be strictly enforced to prevent accidents. A forklift battery charging station should be used only for changing and charging batteries, and meet the following conditions: Provide adequate ventilation to disperse flammable and potentially explosive hydrogen fumes. Provide appropriate personal protective equ...

Forklift Battery Maintenance: Extend the Life of Your Battery

图片
  The average lifespan of a  forklift battery  is 5 years. But your forklift batteries can last longer — or shorter — depending on whether you practice proper forklift battery maintenance.  Unfortunately, by the time you ask: “Should I be doing more to care for my forklift battery?” it’s often already too late.   To keep your operations running smoothly (without dead batteries slowing you down and eating into your profits), here’s everything you need to know about properly caring for your forklift batteries from the first day they’re delivered to your door.  But First: 2 Types of Batteries Means 2 Types of Maintenance There are two main types of forklift batteries, each with their own required maintenance plan.  The two main types of forklift batteries include:  Lead-acid batteries Lithium-ion batteries Lead-acid batteries have dominated the market for years. In fact: in 2021, 90% of electric forklifts in operation were using lead-acid batter...
