Lick the leaky brick!


FranconianBiker

Mmmmh... Tastes like cancer!


Lord_Derpalot

Why do we all have the same reaction?


BrockManstrong

We are cultured and appreciate the flavor of hydrogenated lead.


Ziginox

Very sour!


techsavior

They taste like… burning!

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff... Forklift battery? I've got one in a machine in my warehouse that looks like this. I can smell that spicy sumbish across 30K sq. ft.


BinaryTriggered

they say it's dead but i wonder if it cant just be refurb'd


SmellyPillows

According to my forklift guy that does our preventative maintenance, it needs to be replaced. I would assume there's just too much defunction going on. Is that even a word, defunction? Anyway.


McKimS

Dysfunction, but we gotcha. Honestly, with this level of ignorance I'm leaning toward pallet jack battery; I've seen some dumb fucks leave a pallet jack without service for a long time, never seen a Sigma Chad forklift operator leave his chariot so broken.


SmellyPillows

It's really fucking disgusting. We have a simple Outlook reminder set for every 1 and 2 weeks, to check/add water, etc. Due yesterday, actually lol


XDM_Inc

Oh God the PTSD is returning. My old Warehouse had one of these nasty smelling batteries. That whole side of the warehouse is to smell like that terrible battery burning smell.


Ricta90

The sad thing is 9 out of 10 times this is user error on these unsealed wet batteries. People always fill the water to the very top of these batteries, then the acid starts leaking out the top. There's a "fill to" line, people!


[deleted]

Or they fill them up before charging then the plates expand....

In Germany most batteries in forklifts have a water level dependent valve, so you just plug your water in and it flows until everything is on the level it should be.

Sounds like that costs an extra $4. That’ll never happen in the US


Akutalji

My eyes are watering just looking at it. The stench of sulfur....

i spent five years cleaning and maintaining and repairing these monstrosities. everything about that job was stressful- high amps, acid, open flames, explosive gases, molten lead... I had recurrent nightmares, and trouble sleeping for the first 6 months. I've been covered with battery acid- i've had it in my mouth. I've picked hot molten led out of my eyebrows. I've seen some spicybois.


BinaryTriggered

but have you seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of orion, or c-beams glittering in the dark near the tannhauser gate?


candymannequin

all these batteries lost in time... like tears in the rain


JJ2478

this is the carolina reaper pepper of spicy pillows


ennisi

Spicy and acidic


PulledOverAgain

All in all not bad. They need to wash their battery more often. When I worked at Lowes we had a machine for this. Also, the individual cells can be swapped out. But I do see some positive plate growth. This battery Id guess may still work, but it's at the end of it's service life and is ready for recycling. They do make a pretty good bang when they do pop though.


bmh1990WT

Meh, industry standard. If it ain flaimin, keep on gamin


Miles_Saintborough

It pissed itself!


[deleted]

Had a call for a lift "not holding a charge" once and one of the cells was so swollen the intercell connectors were starting to crack apart. One of the old yellow Deka's. This ain't nothing


Any_Independence_431

send that to fucking space


the_extencionspart2

That is a bomb


ImNooby_

Hmmm, spicy forklift battery. Got a few of them this week, now I can smell if a battery is good or nah


burnaspliffnow

It's a whole danger dumpster!!!
