Hi all,

I recently bought an M80 8000lb Cat forklift. Been running it for 3 weeks, very light use. I bought a charger for it the other day and got it hooked up but it won't charge the forklift. I've checked the power in/out and everything seems correct but when I plug in the forklift, nothing happens. I expect the contactor to click after 5-10 seconds but nothing. No amp draw on the charger either. Any ideas?

Background: Bought the forklift from a retailer, they fixed the brakes then gave it to me. Said they charged it fine, and even used it around their facility. It's a 48v.

Charger is 208v 3 phase charger. I have it hooked up to exactly that. I am getting 48v output. I've tested all of the contacts and they all show the proper voltages, and it shows 48v out when it's plugged in. The charger is a Hertner Auto Charger 1000. Model CTN-24-550. The previous owner of the charger said it worked fine, they just got a new forklift so they didn't need this one anymore. He was even kind enough to come take a look to see if I had everything hooked up properly. Him and my electrician both confirmed it was.

Thanks in advance.
