Battery Runtime Estimator

Quick answer: a healthy battery on an electric scissor lift typically gives about a full working shift of mixed use, and recharges overnight (roughly 8–10 hours on a standard 10 A outlet). Constant driving between work areas is what flattens batteries early — mostly-stationary work at height can stretch well beyond a shift.

Getting the most from a charge

Charge every night — never leave the machine flat overnight, deep discharge is the main killer of EWP batteries. Charge in a ventilated area, and if the site has no power, tell us when you book so we can plan around it.

Common questions

What if the job runs two shifts?

Mention it at booking. Options include charging between shifts, a second machine, or a diesel unit for outdoor work — the wrong answer is discovering it flat at 2 pm.

Does cold weather matter?

Yes — batteries deliver noticeably less in cold conditions and age faster if stored flat. Winter early starts on outdoor jobs are exactly when the lunchtime top-up is worth planning.
