Your battery supplier is an idiot. You need four deep cycle batteries-Walmart sells them. If the unit is 24V, you probably want four 6V batteries in series. If it's 12V, you want two or four 12V batteries in parallel. Also: if you plug it in to charge, charge it fully. Partial charge/discharge cycles are brutal on batteries.All battery operated equipment has issues too. Shop lifts are a lot of times a dime a dozen when the batteries are shot and they do not have chargers to go with them. When our shop lift battery *$2,400.00 for new 20+ years ago* was dying we learned we could use four standard car batteries but they would only last for a few hours before needing charged and even at that it would quickly kill the car batteries running them down and recharging them like that.
