Default Electric forklift battery chargers, do they have to be special or not

The bigger forklift batteries are typically 36V or 48V.

Or 60, 72, 0r 96


Depends on how you define the term "battery"...

The battery may be any such voltage, but said battery is built from
many cells; and those may well be bundled into groups of 3 or 6.
Each bundle is ~6 or ~12 volts...

There are 28V trucks, with two 12V {well 13.8v} batteries in series.

Each "bundle" is a battery - and the "whole battery" is a "battery
of batteries" instead of a "battery of cells"
