Discussion:
Battery won’t charge- can I plug direct

Hello,
My batteries don't seem to hold a charge. I have tried charging for long periods and I have checked the water in the batteries. Is it possible to directly plug my battery charger into the forklift and run it? The plug looks like it would fit but I don't know if it would work.
Thanks

Hi,
You can't run the truck directly from the charger.
You will need a voltage in the battery to get the charger to work.
Hope this is of some help.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
