ThermOil Testimonials Mining & Forklift Industry

November 8, 2013

We are a large battery specialist that sell all types of batteries including Forklift batteries. We have been using Thermoil products since 1999 and continue to do so today. We have treated all types of non-sealed batteries with Thermoil including auto, farm, motorcycle, golf, solar, scissor lift, scrubber & sweeper, RV, Marine etc. I have to say this product is amazing.

All the treated batteries never have any corrosion, use a lot less water and last much longer. We have never had a warranty issue yet since we started using the product but the most amazing thing I have to say is the treated forklift batteries.

These forklift batteries cost thousands of dollars and always need to be maintained. They corrode much more than other batteries, use a lot more water, need acid adjustments every few years or so, cables need to be replaced often because of the corrosion and these batteries need to be pressure washed because the corrosion gets between the battery and the steel case.

We sell these forklift batteries and have the maintenance contact to service them at a major paper mill here in Wisconsin. This paper mill has a lot of forklifts and decided to treat some of them for a test.

Every two weeks we were there to water the batteries, clean corrosion about every 6 months and do acid adjustments every few years or so. Cables needed to be replaced at least once during the batteries lifetime. The batteries treated with Thermoil lasted on average 13 and one half years. Not only did the treated forklift batteries last longer than the non-treated ones but during this 13 and one half years the treated batteries only needed water every 3 months, never had any corrosion, never needed to be pressured washed or needed acid adjustments and never needed cables replaced.

The treated batteries charge faster, maintain voltage better, which leads to less problems with electrical components, electric motors etc because of the non-existence of corrosion and the elimination of acid loss.

If you have a forklift battery or use any 2-volt industrial cells in any equipment the small cost to install this product in my opinion is a no brainer. I can now see why the battery manufacturers do not want to endorse this product.
