If the battery is steel cased, (3'X3', about 3100 lbs) , or 1'X3', the
individual cells can be replaced by a competent lift service man. I have
done it a few times, but it's a scary process, because the connector link
needs to be "welded" back on with a lead filler bar and flame torch. The
links are removed with a coring tool, to preserve the battery post. The
cells have to be purged before work is performed, or a rather large BOOM
will occur. 18 sequential explosions from the open cells made me have to
clean my pants, and decide to decline further repair for the company I was
working for, who wanted to save money by having an in-house mechanic do the
job. Electric trucks are sedate, but very dangerous in various ways. A golf
cart battery charger should possibly work to charge the battery, if the
correct connector is adapted, shouldn't it?. The process in the factory I
worked for at the time was charge, cool battery for 8 hours, run for a
shift, repeat process. This was supposed to dissapate the hydrogen gas
somewhat before the battery was put back into the truck. Batteries were
swapped out to allow lifts to run all shifts.

Have your heart medications readily available before you make a call
to inquire about the replacement battery price.
