How Long Do Scissor Lift Batteries Last on a Used Lift?

Scissor lift batteries last about five years with proper maintenance, and on a used lift from The Lift Bros, a set that is two years old or older is typically replaced with new batteries. Used batteries that stay in a lift are checked on a battery-testing machine first.

Can Scissor Lift Batteries Last Longer Than Five Years?

Yes, some scissor lift battery brands have lasted six or seven years. The five-year figure is for a typical new set that is properly maintained.

Does a Used Scissor Lift Come With New Batteries?

A used scissor lift from The Lift Bros typically gets new batteries if its old ones are two years old or older. The old set is pulled and replaced at that age for two reasons:

• At two years, the batteries are about halfway through their life.
• Their history before the lift came to The Lift Bros is unknown.

Are Used Batteries Tested Before They Go Back In?

Yes, when a used scissor lift keeps its used batteries, those batteries go on a battery-testing machine to make sure they are good before they go back in the lift.

Not every used scissor lift comes with new batteries, and it varies machine by machine, so ask about the batteries on the specific lift you are looking at.
