I just picked up the same lift and was wondering how you charge it. Do you just plug it in or do you have to put the switches in a certain position. Thanks
Not sure if you will see this but once new batteries are in are you supposed to do anything before using the machine or can you use it like normal and then charge it after you use it? Ie you don't need to like plug in charger or anything after changing battery right? Swapping some tmrw in a skyjack, similar setup
@@HandyGuy2016 I think he's talking about how many years do you get out of the batteries. I think it's like a car. About 4 years. Although I don't see why you couldn't get 6 or 7 years out of them just as long as you keep them charged regularly
I just got a used lift that isn't currently powering up. The previous owner said it just needed charged batteries. I noticed the batteries had no water in them and the terminals and wire ends are covered in corrosion. The cells are clearly corroded as well. He had one 12v marine battery on the one side that tested good, and two of the standard 6v batteries on the other side. Both 6v's are shot. My first goal is just powering it up to do a thorough inspection, as my only intention is to sell it. Is there any reason two healthy 12v's wired in series for a 24v output wouldn't work for testing out the lift? I'm curious what the combined amperage rating for your setup is.
Thanks for the video. I’m looking to buy a lift from auction so I’ll check out the batteries now.

Plug it in with the power off to the controls
Hey could u send me a pic of the wireing to the commander the strip and the coils please
Don't have any pics sorry.

Most new batteries come precharged. They won't be 100 percent, but they are ready to use until you can charge them.
@@HandyGuy2016 thanks so much
How long do the batteries last?
Javier Gonzalez the longest I have used it on a single charge, is 2 days.

I'm not sure if that would work, but I guess there is only one way to find out.
It will work but you will have half the reserve capacity. Meaning the runtime will be half.
