    I think we may have found it. While fooling around with the controller, I found a loose wire at the connections in the wire loom for the low voltage going to the controller. At the plug we would get 24v on one pin and nothing on the other. I tightened up the fast-on connections and now I have a...

    Here's the new info. We had the batteries checked with a carbon pile load tester. At a 200 amp load, they would drop .2v. They're good. With the lift running for about 20 minutes, we had 25 volts at the batteries and the gauge was down at 3 bars which is 50%. We still had 22.5 volts out of the...

    The batteries are filled. I'm not getting any codes. We had T-105 batteries in first and when it didn't work, we decided to try the higher amp T-125's to see if that would help, but it didn't. I didn't get a chance to fool with it today. Hopefully, I get my meter tomorrow and I can check the...

    Nothing seems to be hot. They went to 24V after we tried to put it on the trailer a couple of times. I forgot to say that the charge meter goes to 50% during this testing. It will go back up after the lift sits for about 10 minutes. The voltage goes back up to 25V. Motor is not hard to get to...

    Here's what I found. With a full charge, the batteries have 29V. After it runs about 10 minutes, the batteries go down to 26V. The lift will go up on the trailer in high, but not in low. With the lift going up on the trailer, the voltage would go down to 22.8V. When we were checking the voltage...

    Thanks for the suggestions. The batteries are the same ones we use in our JLG lift and it runs without any problems. The guy that checked our charger says they're correct. We didn't put a meter on them, but since the lift didn't have any power to drive it up the trailer in that short of a time...

    We are going crazy with this thing. We've installed two sets of new batteries and had the charger and lift checked and everything checks OK. The problem we're having is when we have a full charge, the lift will only move about 150 feet before the battery indicator drops to about a 40% charge and...
