Weirdest thing has been happening to us and has not been easy to duplicate. Battery is fully charged and an operator is going in reverse, the battery meter all of a sudden goes to 0 and the machine coasts without any power to stop. Removing foot from deadman doesn't do anything at all. Driver reported 2 weeks ago and we shut down and powered back up, everything seemed to run normal. This morning it happened again and another operator backed into a pallet rack and injured himself. Has anyone seen this symptom before and have any ideas what it can be?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
