To ensure the readiness and performance of aerial lifts from Skyjack and other leading brands, battery chargers are often necessary. For lift operation and the lifespan of a lift’s batteries, it’s essential to find the right battery charger and maintain it. In this guide, learn more about battery chargers for Skyjack aerial lifts.
Important Information about Battery Charger Use
The aerial lift equipment experts at Skyjack conducted a study about battery management. A key finding highlighted best practices to charge the battery, not the battery itself, as having the biggest impact on machine performance, how often the battery needed to be replaced and the associated costs of doing so. For example, scissor lifts should be fully charged at least once a week, but the study discovered they were charged closer to once a month. Consequently, many machines spend more time in low states of charge – conditions that reduce the battery life and increase the need to buy more batteries during the course of machine use. Fortunately, newer Skyjack models with the ELEVATE package help lift operators, equipment managers and other invested parties by clearly identifying the battery lifespan anticipated for a machine and other data on a mobile app.
Battery Chargers for Skyjack
To determine the right battery charger for your aerial lift, align the voltage and amp specifications, along with the battery type. Although the type of battery charger varies according to the model of your Skyjack aerial lift, Skyjack scissor lifts typically require 24V chargers in a range of amps. Notably, some Skyjack lifts, such as the SJ20E vertical mast lift, may come with a universal smart battery charger. For Skyjack DC scissor lift models, the EE Rating Package features an onboard battery charger.
For battery and battery charger guidance or any other maintenance or machine questions, refer to the respective manual for your aerial lift model, such as this manual for the SJ4740 DC Electric Scissor Lift. As illustrated in this manual, you’ll typically find safety precautions and warnings, procedural information, and explanations of indicators, fault codes and charger errors. In addition to reflecting on battery charger practices as per Skyjack’s study, here are 4 other signs that you may need a replacement battery charger:
- If a battery charger doesn’t fully charge a battery or doesn’t consistently do so, a replacement may be imminent.
- If you notice extreme heat or strange noises during battery charger use, there may be a problem with it.
- Wear or damage to charging cables and connectors may also mean a replacement is needed.
- As per AWP manual, error codes and indicator lights specific to battery chargers often signify a range of problems.
