Depending on what kind of batteries are used, you probably could use either a 6V or 12V charger to charge each battery individually. That would get it running. If it has one 24v battery you are out of luck. A 12v charger would get it up to....... 12v.

its 2 12 volts wired in sequence
Charge each 12v one at a time. Don't even have to disconnect them, just clip on the terminals of one 12v and charge, when done, do the other.

If it turns out that it is salvageable, start watching for a military surplus 24 volt charger! Try steelsoldiers.com and smokstak.com (their advertisements particularly) for sources of military surplus stuff.

At the shop I used to work in , we had a Christie 6-12-24 volt charger , it was the std. shop wheeled model. Might google them and see what they go for ....

Why wouldn't you have to disconnect them? I would think you'd need to break the chain to charge at 12v.
I agree with charging them one at a time.
But I think you will have to seperate them to do it.
Either end of either wire should be enough.
Be ready for the batteries themselves to be junk though.
You should be able to replace them with your car batteries long enough to test out the lift.
If you have the room to store it, it should come in handy.

You can charge series wired 12V batteries with them in the circuit... I do it all the time with my military equipment. Charge the 'bottom' battery first (one with the negative connected to the frame) then charge the 'top' battery, always connecting the charger to the battery's positive and negative terminals. Of course, never try to charge the top battery with the negative charger connected to the frame when the charger is a 12 volt charger.

The current is only going to go from the chargers positive clip to its negative clip, so if you clip on the positive and negative terminals of a 12 v battery, no matter what other batteries are in series with it, the only one receiving any current is the one its clipped on to. Now, if they were wired parallel, all positives wired together, and all negatives wired together, then you would be charging all the batteries at one time.
