Interesting discussion - Advancements in charger technology are rapidly making the old view of matching chargers and batteries by battery dealers obsolete. The better chargers sold today auto-recognize what they are attached to and take care of the rest. Also, it seems that the best of the new "fast chargers" can provide graphical data downloads that tell the charging history of each battery and even the health status of groups of cells! That should end any debate as to what happened if a problem arises. My guess is this opens the doors for forklift dealers to sell packaged truck and fast charger systems for great margins.
