The battery electric flat car is easy to operate, flexible, and highly favored by the market. However, as the power source of the battery electric flatcar, the battery has been met with both love and hate by many users. According to user feedback, battery electric flatcars are very convenient, flexible, and relatively cheaper in price. However, the batteries used have a short service life, are difficult to replace, require continuous charging, and also need to pay attention to high temperature and explosion-proof environments.
The battery life of the battery electric flatcar can reach up to three years, and it is stored in a drawer box for easy replacement. In addition, for users who find replacement and maintenance troublesome, maintenance free batteries can be used, and high-temperature resistant motors and appliances can also be used. The usage time of a fully charged battery is generally not less than 4 hours. There is another type of lithium battery, which has a higher cost, smaller size, and consistent usage time. However, the service life of a lithium battery is three times that of a regular battery.
Maintenance type batteries require regular maintenance to extend their service life and ensure that they do not affect the daily use of electric flatcars. The following battery maintenance methods are available for reference:
1. Regularly check the appearance of the battery every month for any deformation or bulging, and replace it if necessary. If there are cracks in the appearance of a single battery, it should be replaced.
2. The accuracy of the voltage applied to both ends of the battery pack by the locomotive charging output should be checked and calibrated monthly to ensure compliance with requirements. If there is any deviation, it should be adjusted promptly.
3. Compare and check the battery temperature monthly to ensure it is appropriate.
4. The connection plates of the battery should be smooth, flat, and clean, without exposed copper or oxidation. Once exposed copper or oxidation occurs, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
5. Check if the connections of the battery are complete and if the installation is firm and reliable.
