If you go with replacement batteries that are significantly lighter than the original, keep in mind that the batteries are part of the balance equation that determines how much weight can be safely lifted and how high it can be lifted. You either need to add ballast to increase the weight or be careful not to use the forklift near it's limits.
A friend has a small walk behind forklift that originally used two 12v deep cycle batteries about the size of a golf cart battery. Right now, it's running on a pair of gel cell batteries from a mobility scooter. We're careful not to lift too much weight with it.
