INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE, SYSTEM FOR MANAGING STATE OF AMOUNT OF ELECTROLYTE OF INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE, AND ELECTRIC FORKLIFT
First Claim
1. An industrial vehicle comprising:
- a storage battery that includes a plurality of battery cells including electrolyte and connected in series;
an electrolyte shortage detection unit that detects a shortage of the electrolyte by detecting a voltage value between the plurality of battery cells;
an electrolyte-shortage time calculation unit that calculates an electrolyte-shortage time, which is a cumulative time of the shortage of the electrolyte detected by the electrolyte shortage detection unit;
a memory unit that stores the electrolyte-shortage time calculated by the electrolyte-shortage time calculation unit;
a time information generating unit that generates time information; and
an output processing unit that performs output processing for attaching the time information to the electrolyte-shortage time stored in the memory unit and outputting the electrolyte-shortage time with the time information to an output unit, at a predetermined timing.
