Clark ECG-30

Have an unusual situation ( I think ), the unit has posted on it's data plate the battery voltage is 36 Volt yet battery & charger for lift is 48 Volt. Lift was bought off ebay about 2 years ago & now battery showing signs of needing replacement. Not sure of which battery to quote 48 V or 36 V & charger- any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys very much. I wish the Clark tech that was out last year would have presented the voltage issue this way.

Stam is right. The controller has a 36/48 volt setting that is programmed in by the hand set. I would quote out what is in the truck.

i thought that truck had a ge sx system in it. i have only seen one once. from what i remember it is 36/48 volt if it is a ge system you could check the voltage setting parameter with the handset

Yes- everything matches. What's involved in converting from 36 to 48 V ? I had to replace the brain about a year ago (flight systems rebuild) - the local Clark dealer was needed to program it. I purchased the brain based on the model & serial #'s- I assume the brain was set up for 36 V- the Clark guy didn't know if running the truck on 48 V would harm the brain or not- so far so good.
