If you are in the SF Bay area you might call or visit Bobcat Battery
210 San Jose Ave # 1, San Jose, CA 95125 (408) 295-7100.
They might have some used industrial grade batteries for your
forklift that still have a few years life in them.

I just purchased a used Yale order picker electric forklift for use on
paved surfaces. I came with a large charger as well. I was told that the
batteries will only hold a charge for about 15 minutes. So I have a few
questions:
1) What are my options for battery replacement? I was told that a
replacement lead acid battery pack is "about $3000". I am wondering if
there might be a better and cheaper option than to simply replace the
battery pack with the same. Specifically I am wondering about using
batteries similar to what I would use with an EV. I realize that I will
likely have to add weight to offset the lighter and denser replacement
batteries.
