Battery news: just got off the phone with the company that sold us the forklift. Apparently we're welcome to any 6v floodies they swap out of customers' equipment - gratis.

They don't get them in too frequently, and the ones they have will be old and tired (around 4 yrs) and will probably have been neglected by the customer.

But I'm willing to try "free", to start. They'll have four for us to pick up on Monday.
