| Q: |
Do I need to have more than one forklift battery for my electric forklift? |
| A: |
A new forklift battery is designed to provide five to six hours of use, which in most cases is equivalent to an eight hour shift. An additional battery is required for longer usage times.

| Q: |
Do forklift batteries require maintenance? If so, how should I maintain them? |
| A: |
Yes. Preventative maintenance is essential to prolonging the life of your batteries and forklift. Battery water levels should be checked once per week and topped up so the water is just above the plates (not to the top of the cap). Always use distilled water as opposed to tap water. It is always advisable to have a qualified preventative maintenance specialist doing regular maintenace on both your batteries and your forklift.
