Aerial Lift Batteries Info | Aerial Lift Battery FAQs
At Battery Giant, we want our customers to be happy with their aerial lift battery purchase. We achieve this by providing our customers with all the information they need regarding replacement aerial lift batteries. Below are basic aerial lift battery FAQs to help answer any of your general aerial lift battery questions.
Q: How does an aerial lift battery work?
A: It is important to keep in mind that aerial lift batteries range in size, power and application - depending on the type of lift the aerial lift battery serves. For this reason, the composition and functioning of aerial lift batteries can vary. For the most part, an aerial lift battery works similar to other common batteries. Batteries for aerial lifts store energy in a chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. Most aerial lift battery cells consist of positive plates, negative plates and an electrolyte solution. Aerial lift batteries produce electricity because of the chemical reaction between these elements. Some specialty aerial lift batteries may be composed of unique materials. In addition, some replacement aerial lift batteries offer special make ups for various functions. This might influence exactly how an aerial lift battery works.
Q: What should I consider when purchasing a replacement aerial lift battery?
A: There are three important factors to consider when buying replacement aerial lift batteries. While shopping for a replacement aerial lift battery, it is critical to consider size, power and warranty. Although it is recommended to consult the manufacturers recommended guidelines in attaining the correct replacement aerial lift battery, below are some general factors to consider while selecting a replacement aerial lift battery.
First, you have to make sure the replacement aerial lift battery will fit. Check the physical dimensions of the new aerial lift battery with that of your original aerial lift battery. Next you need to consider what the required power is for the replacement aerial lift battery. Finally, you need to consider the aerial lift battery warranty period. We recommend choosing replacement aerial lift batteries with a warranty period that best fits your needs.
Q: What causes batteries for aerial lifts to fail?
A: There are several factors that contribute to the failure of replacement batteries for aerial lifts. Excessive heat causes corrosion, which can dry out the replacement aerial lift battery cell. This is a common cause of the failure of replacement aerial lift batteries. Extreme cold weather can sometimes put a heavier drain on aerial lift batteries, which can slowly cause aerial lift batteries to depreciate.
Also, if an aerial lift battery is not securely held down, vibrations can shed the active material from the aerial lift battery plate grids. This will cause failure in most batteries for aerial lifts. Overcharging an aerial lift battery may cause overheating. Although typically a prolonged process, overcharging aerial lift batteries can eventually cause depreciation. Other possible factors that can cause aerial lift batteries to fail include corroded terminals, sulfation due to inactivity, or electrical shorts in the aerial lift battery itself. These are just some of the common causes of aerial lift battery failure. Aerial lift batteries can vary in composition, which can influence how aerial lift batteries depreciate.
Q: Where is the best place to store an aerial lift battery during the off season?
A: Before storing an aerial lift battery, make sure it is fully charged. Remember that fully charged aerial lift batteries will typically not freeze, but a discharged aerial lift battery can freeze. Test your aerial lift battery and charge the aerial lift battery if necessary. It also might be wise to purchase an aerial lift battery maintainer. After a full charge and test, now you are ready for aerial lift battery storage. It is important to store replacement aerial lift batteries in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of the reach of children or pets. Check the level of the aerial lift battery charge every 30-45 days. A trickle charge using an aerial lift battery maintainer or low amperage charge overnight might be necessary for some aerial lift batteries depending on their age and composition. Also a good aerial lift battery storage precaution is to check the fluid level inside the aerial lift battery. If the fluid level is low inside the aerial lift battery, add distilled water.
Q: How do you properly charge replacement aerial lift batteries?
A: Proper charging of replacement aerial lift batteries is important. While the aerial lift battery charger or aerial lift battery maintainer is still unplugged, connect the leads to the proper (+)(-) terminals. Wiggle the aerial lift battery connectors to ensure a good connection. Adjust the settings on the aerial lift battery charger for correct voltage and amperage. Now you can plug in the aerial lift battery charger and turn it on. While charging aerial lift batteries in a well-ventilated area, periodically check on the aerial lift battery for any obvious signs of malfunctions. Make sure that while charging aerial lift batteries that there are no signs of overheating. If the aerial lift battery is too hot to touch or if the aerial lift battery is gassing profusely, turn the charger off immediately. Once the aerial lift battery is fully charged, turn the charger off, unplug it from the wall and unhook the aerial lift battery charging cables. Always use caution when charging batteries for aerial lifts.
Q: What can I do to help preserve the life of aerial lift batteries?
A: Follow these guidelines every 3-6 months to help extend the life of aerial lift batteries.
Check aerial lift batteries for cleanliness - If the aerial lift battery tray is dirty or corroded, first remove the aerial lift battery cables, followed by the aerial lift battery unit. Wash the aerial lift battery tray with a water and baking soda solution. Flush the aerial lift battery tray with water and thoroughly dry it off. If necessary, further clean the aerial lift battery with a brush or a special terminal cleaning tool. It is also safe to wash most aerial lift batteries with the baking soda and water solution, however, be sure that the aerial lift battery vent caps are on tight (if the aerial lift battery is not sealed) to prevent anything from entering into the aerial lift battery cells. Clean aerial lift batteries, in a clean tray, will ensure the best connection.
Check the aerial lift battery hold down brackets - Make sure the brackets holding the aerial lift battery to the frame are secure. Excessive vibration may cause premature failure in aerial lift batteries. If the aerial lift battery brackets are loose, tighten them and spray them with a corrosion preventative spray. This will keep the corrosion on aerial lift batteries from rebuilding.
Check the aerial lift battery case - The condition of the aerial lift battery case can indicate if you have a problem. If the aerial lift battery case is swollen on the sides (concave) there is probably a charging system problem. If the aerial lift battery case is cracked, the aerial lift battery should be replaced. These aerial lift battery problems are non repairable. In these incidences, it is recommended to replace the aerial lift battery immediately.
Check fluid levels within aerial lift batteries - Remove the vent caps and check on the fluid level inside the aerial lift battery. If you see fluid, the aerial lift battery is most likely fine. While looking in the cell of an aerial lift battery, if you see an exposed lead plate, distilled water should be added. Be careful not to overfill the cells in aerial lift batteries. As with most batteries, the fluid level in an aerial lift battery should stop approximately 1" under the top of the aerial lift battery cell.
