Hi, Hyster J30XMT2 with GE SX controls. 9.30V to battery case from positive cable. Code 27, 65, 66, different code with each key-on and no fwd/rev/lift/tilt. Removed battery and reconnected with tagline, no codes, runs as normal.
Have heard of voltage leakage and promptly thoroughly washed battery with neutralizer and let dry over weekend, now leakage is 16V to case. Checked all other batteries in the shop, all have leakage to case. Removed ballast plate from truck and thoroughly washed conduit channels, cables and wires under battery look fine now; no continuity to frame but with battery case leakage, might as well be?
Is this normal? How do you correct it? Will a cap between keyon + and frame do any good, or am I leaking to frame elsewhere?
Thanks
