no problem gerald
i wouldnt worry about ruining your lift, just go by what the battery rep recommends based on the info you give him about your battery.
Then based on that you can do some looking around on ebay or maybe he might have a decent used charger that would suit your needs at an affordable price :o)
Again thank you so much for your input, it is very helpful and keeps me from ruining my lift.
to charge this battery in this lift you will need a commercial (industrial) type battery charger. These standup/orderpicker type lifts use industrial type batteries with large cells.
An automotive charger will not work, it does not have enough amp hour rate to do it period.
Your best bet is to contact your local 'industrial' battery company and give them the information of the battery, size, amp rate, serial number and model number from the battery information that should be stamped on the case near the lifting ear on the outside, also on the shunt bars connecting the cells together there should be some information stamped into one of these connecting bars. You will have to remove the plastic cover to see it (if the plastic cover is still intact). This info should be near one end, probably near the positive cable end but check them all to be sure.
At minimum the least amp rate the charger would have to be to effectively charge this battery would be around 60ah rate but since i do not know the battery model number and amp capacity i'm guessing.
Thank you for your help I found another charger do you know how to tell if it is for lead acid batteries or do car battery chargers work?
Thanks Again Gerald
I wouldn't. Your gold cart will prob use a gel type battery while you flt be lead acid. The charge ramp will be different so a generic charger will shorten the battery life
