:

Battery reads 18 volt when I got it. charger output 30 volt open
circuit, just barely moving the meter, about 1.6A with my Fluke DC
clamp on. 28.6 v connected to battery.

What's the recon process?

Tag is definitely a 0 as in 30 volt. Weird, Came up with nothing on
my web search for Hobart 3t12-768 charger and nothing for a Yale
k66c-050g30s071 truck. Is Yale still in business?


Randy, did it occur to you that the lift might really be designed for
30V, and someone - finding the 15-cell battery difficult to obtain (or
just plain stupidly) - swapped it for a 36?

That would explain a lot...

LLoyd



I would believe that.
Thank You,
Randy
