Will pull batteries when I get the forklift running. Placed two lawn mower batteries in series to get 26 volts. Touched the leads and turned unit on then off. Thanks the 26 volts did take it out of the battery save phase. Connected Battery pack up and on the handle battery percentage read 100 percent. disconnected waited 5 minutes and reconnected still read 100 percent and no green light flashing. Everything worked lift, forward and back, emer. brake all worked. Ran it for 15 minutes and percentage still read 100. Have a truck coming in tomorrow to see how long it will last. I'll keep an eye on the percentage and leave it charging again tonight. Battery voltage from the charging unit seemed low to me also. Do not know if this charger phases up (increase voltage) Had VOM meter attached to Batt cables and voltage was still 24.5 VDC

Again any and all advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all that replied back. What's my next step?
