Default I got a forklift, need some guidance

OK, last minute deal, my buddy calls me he's cleaning out a garage and
they have a forklift, I can have it for 500 bucks or he's taking it
for scrap. owner says it works good. WTF, I say bring it over.

Turns out it's a Yale electric. 5000# not bad.

name plate on lift says 30 volts, battery has 18 cells, would that not
be 36 volts?

Hobart charger is marked 30 volts, battery type "LA-12C" which I'm
guessing is lead acid 12 cells, AKA 24 volts. so I have the wrong
charger, which explains way I was told battery does not hold a charge
well.

Am I guessing correctly or way off base.

Will keep this one until I can come up with a good deal on a LP
powered one.

Thank You,
Randy
