This might be a big "DUH" moment but I am new to this lift as I have owned it for about 2 years and I want to be really sure: Looking at my FBC25 nameplate it lists 'Volts: 36/48' Does this mean the machine is dual voltage and can run off a 36 or 48 volt battery?

I bought the service manual and it lists both voltages but does not explicitly state that you can connect either battery voltage. The traction motor horse power is given for 48V and does not list power for 36 so that along with the nameplate makes me think I can pick whichever battery and plug it in.

I currently run a 36 volt battery and need a new battery. Do I go 48? Will 48V give the machine more oomph on a ramp?
