A lift system for a wind turbine includes an elevator car disposed inside the wind turbine. The elevator car includes a platform to support a worker, a sidewall extending from the platform, and a top portion coupled with the sidewall. The platform, sidewall, and top portion define a cabin. The lift system includes a traction hoist coupled with the top portion. The traction hoist is configured to move the elevator car within the wind turbine. The lift system includes a control panel operably coupled with the traction hoist. The control panel is configured to receive an input to control the traction hoist. The lift system includes a portable battery configured to power the traction hoist. The portable battery is configured to be removably coupled with the elevator car to electrically couple the portable battery with the traction hoist.
