Measure Your Battery
The steel tray that contains the individual cells is part of the battery assembly.
Always take the External/Outside tray dimensions:
· Length (X) – From one lifting tab to the other, across the width of the forklift.
· Width (Y) – From the front to back of the forklift.
· Height (Z) – From the bottom to the top of the lifting tabs (or cover if applicable).
· If the battery has a cover, note the style.
Cable Length And Position
Measure cables from A, B, C or D position
· Measure from the edge of the tray to the plug, noting the position.
· Only measure the length that protrudes or hangs from the battery tray.
· “A” and “B” position are usually on drivers left and right.
· It is better to have too much cable than too little.
· Note the plug type and color: Standard Battery Plugs.

Battery Testing and Repair
Is your battery no longer holding a charge?
Does it have a strong sulfur smell?
Chances are, it’s either “sulphated”, or you have one or more bad cells.
Altus is fully equipped for on-site testing to quickly find
weak or bad cells in your battery. Sulphated batteries
can usually be cured by a combination of equalize
charging and deep cycling.
