We should know when we need to stop the charging, which means we should handle well how long it takes to charge you scissor lift. As long as workers know the procedure and theory of charging a scissor lift, they will know the hours taken for sufficient battery power. The hours for charging a scissor lift can be different according to the scissor lift brands, model and battery condition. For a small scissor lift, it only take 5 to 7 hours to charge, and then the worker can use it for a full day. However, for some other professional scissor lifts, such as  Genie lifts and other types of electric aerial work platforms (AWPs), it will cost approximately 10 to 18 hours to charge.  The new and old scissor lift also have differences in charging hours. Typically, a scissor lift with a new battery takes longer time while the one with an old battery takes shorter hours because the old battery volume was reduced. We do not suggest operating the scissor lift when you are charging it. If you insist on it, we suggest you must take proper precautions. In this way, they can avoid scissor lift accidents, injuries, and fatalities and other unsafe risks.
