When choosing a charger, consider your lift model’s voltage, battery type, and power requirements. For example, a 24-volt machine will require a 24-volt charger. If you're unsure which charger fits your equipment, reach out to our team and help from our experts.

Charging a scissor lift battery typically takes 6 to 16 hours, depending on the battery size, charger output, and how deeply the battery was discharged.

General Charging Time Estimates:

• Small scissor lifts: ~6–8 hours
  
  
• Larger lifts (e.g., Genie, JLG): ~12–16 hours
  
  

Key Factors That Affect Charging Time:

• Battery capacity: Larger batteries take longer to charge.
  
  
• Charger output: Higher amperage chargers (if compatible) reduce charge time.
  
  

Depth of discharge: Fully depleted batteries take more time to recharge.

Choosing the correct amperage for charging is important for battery health. A good rule of thumb is charging at 10% of your battery’s amp-hour (Ah) rating.

Amp Settings Based on Battery Size:

• 19 amps: For ~190 Ah batteries
  
  
• 25 amps: For ~250 Ah batteries
  
  
• 30 amps: For ~300 Ah batteries
  
  

Always check the lift manual or battery label to confirm compatibility with your charger’s output.

Follow these steps to charge your aerial lift battery:

1. Position the lift: Park on a flat surface, shut off the lift, and engage the emergency stop.
   
   
2. Access the battery: Inspect for damage or corrosion; clean terminals if needed.
   
   
3. Check electrolyte levels: For lead-acid batteries, top off with distilled water if necessary.
   
   
4. Connect the charger: Use a compatible charger and ensure secure connections.
   
   
5. Set the charging mode: Follow the lift manual for voltage and mode settings.
   
   
6. Start charging: Plug in the charger and monitor for proper operation.
   
   
7. Complete the charge: When full, turn off the charger and disconnect safely.
   
   
8. Inspect and test: Look for overheating or leaks, then close the compartment and test the lift.

• Charge in a ventilated area to avoid gas buildup from lead-acid batteries.
  
  
• Use proper PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling batteries.
  
  
• Avoid opportunity charging—fully charge instead of frequent top-offs.
  
  

Stick to manufacturer guidelines for best results and battery longevity.

Deep Discharge

If the battery voltage drops too low, standard chargers may not detect the batteries or begin charging.

Solution: Use an external charger to individually boost each battery above the minimum voltage threshold before reconnecting to the onboard charger.

Sulfation

Sulfation occurs when batteries are left undercharged for long periods. Lead sulfate crystals form on the battery plates, reducing performance.

Solution: Avoid letting batteries sit at low charge levels. Maintain regular charge cycles.

Faulty Charger

A non-functioning charger will prevent the lift from receiving any charge.

Solution: Inspect the charger for physical damage and test with another compatible charger to verify if it’s the source of the issue.

Poor Connections

Loose, corroded, or damaged cables and terminals can block the charging current.

Solution: Clean battery terminals, tighten all connections, and replace damaged wiring as needed.

Corroded Terminals or Damaged Wiring

Corrosion on terminals or frayed wires can restrict current flow.

Solution: Clean terminals with a terminal cleaner or a baking soda solution. Replace any damaged or broken wiring components.

Temperature Extremes

Charging in extreme heat or cold reduces battery performance and can prevent proper charging.

Solution: Charge and store your lift in a temperature-controlled space as recommended in the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Lack of Routine Checks

Without regular inspections, issues can go unnoticed until serious problems arise.

Solution: Routinely check battery electrolyte levels (for lead-acid batteries), inspect the battery casing, and ensure the charge level is adequate.

Improper Storage

Storing your lift without proper battery care leads to long-term damage.

Solution: Fully charge batteries before storage and disconnect them if the lift will be idle for an extended period.

Step 1: Measure Battery Voltage

Check total battery pack voltage. If below 18V on a 24V system, the onboard charger may not activate.

Step 2: Test Each Battery

Individually measure each battery. Large variances or near-zero voltages suggest a defective cell.

Step 3: Inspect Charger Functionality

Check for output voltage around 30V for a 24V charger. Confirm that indicator lights show normal operation.

Step 4: Inspect the AC Interlock Connection

The AC interlock at the rear of the charger must be secure and clean. Corrosion or loose connections can block charging.

Step 5: Check Operating Environment

Ensure the lift is being charged in an environment within the recommended temperature range.
