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.
