Have a 5 year old WP45 that needs batteries (24V). This is the PalletPro Champion gel cell setup. Also have a Yale MPB040 that is 15 months old with a bad main drive motor. Batteries are wet style (24V).

The WP45 batteries are $350+ each x4. OUCH.
As a side note I did find a universal battery UB62000 for 1/2 the $. Scares me.

The Yale battery pack assembly will fit into the Clark pocket. I figure the swap should work just fine.

But....
The Yale customer says they have never had to add water to the batteries the entire time. As in, the batteries did not need it.

I've never heard of that.

I don't want to do the swap if the Yale pack has some kind of "issue" and will cause the drive motor to go bad in the Clark.

Any thoughts?????????????
