So I had the battery pack on charge overnight. Been getting just over 48v at the main terminals with no load. Lifting the forks slowly drops the voltage to 38-40v. Now I've checked each 2v unit (with no load) and 14 are a touch above 2v - say 2.03 and the remainng 10 are at 1.93v-1.97v. What is weird though is that I know the charger has been kicking on and off overnight and shows green in the morning (It then performed these tests) but the gauge on the forklift was orange/half way adn then just now red/very low even though the forklift as just raised the mast slowly a couple of times. no real work to load/drain the batteries in such a short timeframe. Can their be a massive drain on the batteries? Is this an indication they're knackered? Should I see what the voltage drops to on each 2v unit so see if any inparticular drop very low? Cheers

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
