Forklift battery charger ?

chidog ยท 2024-09-02 16:16

It says Varta on it, and is for 36 volt. Does anyone know where I can find info about why the charging light is blinking and not charging? Last time it was used a manual stop was done after about 7 hours of operation. Yes there is a special button to hold to initiate the manual stop that worked just fine. The lift is not used alot and the last charge was done about 20 days ago, usually do it about every 30 to 40 days. It was used maybe total time now about 10 minutes from last charge. Thanks

    When we get that flashing light, I unplug both sides of the charger (120v and 36vdc) for a min or two. Plug back in and it'll usually reset. Terex TS30 w/ 24vdc.

    Problem solved, bad power supply to the charger. So just the battery power made the light blink. All good bat's charged now.

    We have a 40 volt lawn mower for our small yard. If the battery dies after being run right down, you can't just put it on the charger. It appears the battery has to cool off for 10-15 minutes until it will take a charge.
