Last week i bought an electric Hyster forklift for $50 at an auction. It has an 850ah hattery pack, its 18 2volt cells.
17 were good, but one isn’t so i cannot get the amperage out of them to run the 36volt motor. All in series. It weighs 2500 pounds. Forklift is in excellent shape.
I can remove the cell and replace it, or cut out the bad one and take the rest to turn into an at home battery bank.
So i can make a 48volt bank or double my amp hours as a 12 volt bank. I bought a 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Going to hook this up in the next week or so.
Other options are buying several 6volt golf cart batteries instead and not to use the forklift but sell it at a big profit. Any way anout it i want a battery bank of no less than 3 days backup. Not interest so much into solar or wind power just yet, I’m in Alaska. Maybe later.
Good on ya mate. Good buy at the auction.
