Forklift Battery Chargers

When a charger stops charging, you have three ways to fix it: replace the unit, replace a part such as the cord or board, or use one of the repair listings. This page holds all three, 394 listings in total, and it is where to look for a forklift battery charger or the equivalent unit for a lift, a scrubber or a cart. Many of the chargers give the voltage and amperage, and most also name the brand and a part number.

Not all of them are for forklifts. Genie, JLG, Skyjack and Tennant chargers are in here too, along with Hyster, Yale and Crown, so use the brand and model to narrow the list. A lift truck battery charger and a fork truck battery charger are the same thing as a forklift battery charger, so look for either one by brand, voltage and number.

Choosing a Forklift Battery Charger From the Listing

More than 100 listings give a voltage. About 70 mention 24V and 16 mention 36V, and amperage follows in forms like "24V19A", "24V/25A" or "36VDC 20 AMP". One reads "for Tennant 65570 - CHARGER - 120VAC 36VDC 20 AMP", which gives you the input and the output together. Others use the compact form, like "CHARGER - DELTA-Q IC650 24V27A W/COMM PORT NO CORD INCLUDED".

That last phrase matters, because a cord may or may not come with the unit, and some listings say which. "NO CORD INCLUDED" and "INCLUDES CORD" both appear, and about 20 listings name a cord, while 8 name an IEC C14 outlet. Genie's "CHARGER-SIGNET HB600-24B 24V19A IEC C14 OUTLET - INCLUDES CORD 96211GT" is one that comes with it.

Chargers by Machine Brand

Genie is the largest group, with 70 listings, and they have their own page at Genie battery chargers. Eight of them name the GR-20, 7 the GR-8, 6 the AWP series, 5 the GR-15 and 5 the GRC-12, as in "for GENIE AWP-25S BATTERY CHARGER 80990GT", and 18 are decals. JLG comes next with 32, then Hyster, Yale and Skyjack with about 20 each.

The rest are spread across Tennant (about 17), Crown (14), E-Z-GO (13), Advance (12) and Taylor Dunn (10). MEC has about 9, Haulotte has 8, and Terex and UpRight together have 8, including "Terex / Marklift Scissor Lift Battery Charger 70789". Yale's named models are the MPW045E and MPB040E, Crown's include the WP 2000 and WP 2300, and Hyster's are the W40Z and W45Z.

Charger Makers Named in the Listings

Some chargers are listed under the maker of the charger rather than the machine. You will see Delta-Q, Lester, Zapi, Exide, Hobart and Sevcon in listings such as "LESTER 22730-R LESTER CHARGER" and "ZAPI F4HEY5-021101-R ZAPI CHARGER". These are worth searching when the plate on your charger shows a charger brand and no machine brand. A few listings are universal, such as "Battery Charger 24v/25a FOR JLG FOR GENIE FOR SNORKEL FORSKYJACK FOR UPRIGHT", which names several machines at once.

Repair Listings and Charger Boards

About 100 listings say "repair" in the name, for example "FOR CROWN 165450 CHARGER REPAIR" and "FOR EXIDE-EHP48T150 CHARGER REPAIR". A repair listing is a different order from a new charger, so read the whole name before you add it to your cart. Compare it with a plain listing for the same machine, like "813144 CHARGER FOR CROWN WP 2300", which sits next to "FOR CROWN 813144 CHARGER REPAIR".

There are 26 listings that name a board, such as "PCB-000053-00-R POWER DESIGNERS CHARGER BOARD", and 20 of those are repair listings too. Three more name a controller, such as "EXIDE ES3-101072435 CHARGER CONTROLLER". If a charger has power but won't deliver, a board is one place to look, though a board listing alone does not tell you that. The forklift controller page covers the wider controller range.

Cords, Labels and Other Parts That Mention a Charger

The word shows up in more than complete units. Four listings are cords on their own, including "FOR SKYJACK 120790, CORD, BATTERY CHARGER". There are 18 decals, such as "FOR GENIE GR-12 DECAL, LABEL (POWER TO CHARGER) (115V) 44980", which you can also find in the forklift decals group. Five name a connector, four of them IEC charger connectors, and the forklift battery connectors page covers the wider range with about 250 listings. There is also one ammeter.

One group is unrelated. Eight listings are turbochargers, which are engine parts, and they are found here only because the word contains "charger". If that is what you need, go to forklift engine parts. The overall range of chargers, batteries and connectors is on the batteries, chargers and connectors parent page.

What Tends to Go Wrong With a Charger

The cord and outlet are handled every shift, so they are a sensible first check, and they are sold on their own in listings such as the Skyjack cord above. Inside the unit, the board or controller is the next suspect. A charger that is dead after a cord swap points toward the board, though the listings can only tell you which parts exist, not which one has failed in yours.

Matching Your Charger Number

Numbers vary by brand. Genie numbers can end in GT, as in 80990GT and 96211GT, while Yale uses long numbers such as 582003887 and Hyster has 4629453. Taylor Dunn writes the same kind of number both ways, "79-303-40" and "7930305", so try the dashed and undashed forms. If the old charger carries a model code on its plate, such as HB600-24B, search that too.

Want a genuine OEM charger? Call (708) 507-0707 and ask what is available. Have the machine make, model and the charger's voltage ready when you call.

Forklift Battery Charger FAQ

Do I get a cord with the charger?

It depends on the listing. Some say "INCLUDES CORD" and others "NO CORD INCLUDED", so check before you order. If you need only the cord, there are separate cord listings.

Why are some chargers listed as a repair?

Those about 100 listings are repair listings rather than new units. Read the full name to see which kind you are looking at, then search the number you have.

Do you sell anywhere besides this site?

Yes. We also sell on eBay under the name ouroverstock, where we have been selling since 2004. The account has Top Rated Seller status, more than 200,000 items sold and 99.9% positive feedback.

What does a code like 24V19A tell me?

It is the output written as voltage and amps together: 24V is the voltage and 19A the current. Listings use it in 18 places, and the same pairing is a quick way to compare two chargers for the same machine.
