Automotive
batteries
When we talk about
automotive batteries the first
thing that comes in our mind is that it’s related to
vehicles, the batteries
that make our daily cars work. However how do these automotive
batteries make
our car run? When does it need replacement and do all vehicles have
similar set
of batteries. Automotive batteries basically provide power to the
components of
the car such as ignition to make it run. This means that automotive
batteries
should provide sufficient high electric current to make the engine
running
which is approximately hundred amperes per second.
Different
vehicles have different
batteries such as truck have truck batteries and heavy lifting vehicles
have
forklift batteries which require higher power and current. Usually
automotive
batteries have a life of 2 to 3 years after which it needs replacement.
An
automotive battery can last for a long time as its charge is refreshed
continuously as the vehicle is running. When efficiency falls below
optimum
level, your battery needs replacement. You must be wondering how these
batteries get charged? Usually a battery charging system is attached to
the
engine which is powered when the engine is running hence the battery is
charged
when your vehicle is running.
Forklift batteries are used in
trucks or heavy vehicles used for lifting or transferring heavy loads
also
known as forklifts. These batteries provide high current to support the
vehicle
in carrying heavy load. The forklifts can be divided into numbered
classes and
categorized by drive type. Usually the higher the capacity the heavier
the
vehicle and the greater the load it can carry. Class 1-Electric motor
rider
truck comes with less than 1900lbs capacity, Class 2- Electric motor
narrow
aisle truck comes with 1900-5300lbs capacity, class 3- Electric motor
hand
truck comes with 5300-16000lbs capacity, class 4-Internal combustion
truck with
cushion tires and internal combustion truck with pneumatic tires come
with
16100-40800lbs and 40800lbs and above respectively.
All automotive batteries are
easily
available in markets and on online stores. In the end I would like to
list a
few sites where automotive batteries are available and may help you
with
further queries.
