the batteries weigh 1500# for the 120VDC setup and another 300# for the 144VDC setup. The rest of it is really light. the motor weighs 160#. It takes about 6-8 hours to charge them depending on how dead they are. The lift truck batteries don't carry enough volts. Most of them are only 48 volts and they are even heavier. Volts=speed Amps=range.
