    It seems like the big OEMS are investing alot in developing new battery electric machines... Just curious to see what ya'll think about it. Do you think it will be adopted over time? What are your biggest concerns? Is it even practical? I have a Tesla and love it, but my company's revenue...

    I know this has probably been discussed before. However I have a Sumitomo S160F2 that has developed starting problems.

    Ford 555E Hard to Start - Fix Video

    I have owned a 1998 Ford New Holland 555E for 3.5 years and it has always been a pain in the ass to start.

    Volvo EC55 Starting Badly

    ...But at least it starts! The battery is showing full charge but is behaving like it is flat; it has trouble turning over after being left overnight or longer. I put it on a fast charger and it will turn once and then appear dead again. Clicking solenoids and a half turn or so. Will do this...

    Volvo BL 70 wont charge and now not starting

    At first we had issue with the battery not charging so we ended up replacing the alternator at the recommendation of the shop we took it to have work on it. That did not solve the charging issue. We replaced the battery. I started better but still didn't charge. Any ideas where to start on...

    John Deere 260 wont start

    Bought this from a neighbor a year ago. Had to jump it once before a few months ago. A month ago replaced the battery as it tested weak after a charge. It started up, worked with it for about 45 minutes, shut it off in the pasture. Went out to finish the job a day later and it wouldn't start...

    Lithium Ion batteries

    Hello, I am interested in buying electric forklift with capacity 2500 kg. Some dealers are trying to convince me to Lithium-Ion batteries. I am working with forklift approximately 6 hours per day. Have you tested foklifts with these batteries? I really would like to know your experiences. Thanks!
