No power to move

Batteries show 36 volts. All fork action seems normal but we are not getting power to the drive unit. The gauge on the dash is dim and shows only about 8% charge.

This has happened once before, before I had the responsibility and it apparently cured itself. The mechanic they hired could not find a problem. Apparently this happens when the forklift has been wet. It has not been wet this time but the humidity has been off the scale here for several weeks.

Any suggestions?
