Common Question

Q: The battery in my Xpress Pallet Truck scale does not seem to hold its charge. How can I ensure longer-lasting battery life?

A: Although it may be nearly impossible to guarantee how long the life of a battery will last, there are several tips you can follow to make sure you get the best possible use out of your battery. Apply these tips when using any lead acid battery and you will be sure to notice better results!

Charge the battery for a full 12 hours prior to initial use
Operate until battery is completely discharged, then fully recharge

Keep the battery fully recharged after each subsequent use

Never partially charge the battery

Average battery life becomes shorter as energy requirements increase

The lifespan of lead acid batteries depends on usage; typically spans from 6 to 48 months with only 30% reaching the 48 month mark

Many battery problems are caused by dirt and loose connections

80% of all battery failure is related to sulfation build-up; this occurs when the sulfur molecules in the electrolyte become so deeply discharged that they begin to coat the battery’s lead plates

Do not let batteries sit too long between charges

Do not store the battery without some type of energy input

Heat of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or more will increase internal discharge so it may be necessary to recharge the battery more often

Do not store a discharged battery in cold weather
