Old forklift battrey

Post by Phillip1612 » Tue Feb 10, 2015 5:35 am

Hi first time on here. If I was you I'd take the old forklift battery's in to the rv and hook the up to the old golf cart battery's and do the same with them. And get the new forklift battery's in to a box with insulation to keep them warm. Keep up the good work. 8-)

Problem is that I already have about 600 pounds of golf cart batteries in the RV.

The forklift battery cells weigh about 120 pounds each. I fear they would fall through the floor.

I do plan to build an addition on back of the tiny house when the snow and ice is off my building materials.

troy please dont forget to put the old forklift batteries on a charger. It would be a shame to lose them during the winter.

Yes I plan to connect another solar panel to the one set that is behind the tiny house. The other set I am trying to figure out how to get off the back of the truck and get charging.
