Operators used to use the scissor lift for 30 minutes then put it back on charge, this just ruined 2 complete sets of lead acid batteries & 1 charger.

Company bought a new charger & we made them get a set of gel batteries, the gel batteries have slightly less running time then lead acid batteries BUT the gel batteries are much more tolerant of owner neglect unlike the lead acid batteries.

Scissor lift now runs for several hours on a full charge plus there is no need to top the batteries up, not that the operators ever bothered with doing that before anyway.
