Hi Tom, In my humble opinion when the battery on an electric machine dies the cost of replacing them outweighs the value of the machine. With lpg and diesel, as long as their safe and don't cost too much to keep them going why replace them. One of my machines is a Hyster H30XL lpg. This machine is over 24 years old but is still a great machine to use.

Regards
Vince
