Hello,

I purchased a used forklift from United Rentals a couple of months ago and I only use it once or twice a month. However, many time I come to the warehouse to use the forklift, I find that the battery has died. Initially, I thought it was my fault because I noticed a few times that I had accidentally left the lights on, so I assumed the battery had gone bad and replaced it with a new one.

After installing the new battery, I didn't use the forklift for about a month, and today when I came to use it, I found that the new battery had also died. This time, I made sure the lights were off, so I'm confident something is draining the battery when the forklift is not in use.

Since calling a technician would be costly, I'm considering installing a battery kill switch to stop the power drain when the forklift is not in use. Could you share your thoughts on this solution and provide any advice on how to install a battery kill switch? I couldn't find a relevant tutorial on YouTube.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
