Battery selection & maintenance
Choosing the right battery for your floor scrubber, knowing proper battery maintenance and educating your staff can help to ensure the safe, uninterrupted operation of your floor machines, as well as getting the biggest return on your battery investment.
According to the Trojan Battery Company, deep-cycle batteries, whether they are flooded, AGM or gel, are the best choice for cleaning machines because they are optimized for deep discharge, which is characteristic of daily floor scrubber operations. Flooded versus non-spillable (AGM or gel) technology is a decision based on feasibility of maintenance or environmental regulations at an individual location.
A single-point watering system, such as Trojan’s HydroLink, is said to make maintenance of deep-cycle flooded batteries quick and easy. With a battery watering system, staff can fill a complete set of batteries in less than 30 seconds.
Trojan's YouTube videos titled “Trojan Tips” have been developed to walk you through proper battery maintenance practices and can be viewed at www.trojanbattery.com/multimedia.
