    Hi, can you please tell me the hight of loading of a Toyota SFB25 SN 11890 1998 model with side shift. Also i just found out that while i was in hospital off and on 6 months it was left plugged to run so struggling to charge the unit trying to do it in 1 hour charges but doesnt seem to hold. Any advice please

      The exact height depends on the mast fitted, not just the model. Common configurations for that era:

      2-stage mast (simplex/duplex) ~3.0–3.3 m (≈ 9.8 – 10.8 ft)
      3-stage mast (triplex) ~4.5–5.0 m (≈ 14.7 – 16.4 ft)

        >1 hour charges but doesnt seem to hold

        This is very likely battery damage, not just a charging issue. On older electric forklifts chargers are not smart like modern ones. Leaving it plugged in continuously can overcharge; boil electrolyte; sulfate plates; dry out cells. Result: Shows voltage briefly / Drops quickly under load / Won’t hold charge

        Symptoms you’re describing match:

        – Charges quickly (1 hour = false charge)
        – Voltage looks OK initially
        – Dies quickly when used

        That’s classic sulfated or cooked battery cells

          What to check (before replacing)

          1. Check electrolyte levels – Open caps. Plates must be covered. If low -> top up with distilled water ONLY.

          2. Hydrometer test (best test) – Check each cell: Healthy: ~1.260–1.280. Bad cell: much lower than others. One bad cell = whole battery weak.

          3. Load test – Lift a load or drive. Watch voltage drop. If it collapses quickly → battery is done

          Can it be saved? Maybe (if not too far gone): Full equalization charge; Long slow charge (not 1-hour fast charge); But realistically: After 6 months plugged in + On a 1998-era system… There’s a high chance the battery is permanently damaged.

          1. David R. Ledford

            What NOT to do

            – Don’t keep doing 1-hour charges -> makes it worse
            – Don’t assume charger is bad first
            – Don’t run it flat repeatedly
