BYD POWERS NEXT-GENERATION FORKLIFT TECHNOLOGY
BYD electric forklifts are “forks down” in a vehicle class all their own. At the heart of every BYD forklift is a LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery. This remarkable power source delivers the strength and function of traditional electric forklifts, with added, unequaled safety and no costly battery maintenance. Think of it, no maintenance or replacement… ever: just safe, long-lasting, fast charging, multi-shift performance.

WHAT MAKES BYD STAND OUT BATTERY TECHNOLOGY?
10-year manufacturer’s warranty
Never replace the battery – one battery for the vehicle lifetime
Worker safety – maintenance-free battery protects workers from injuries & down-time
Longer run times – fully charges in 1-2 hours, guaranteed for ten years
Faster recharging – opportunity charged, plug-in on breaks or lunch
Dramatic cost savings:
Never needs replacing
Never needs watering
Does not overheat
Protected from corrosion
Powered with the same technology used in your cell phones and laptop computers, the lithium iron phosphate battery is the only battery your forklift will ever need. It never comes out of the vehicle. Charging is done quickly and easily without removing the battery, as shown in the video below. Just charge up and go. A full recharge is attainable in as little as 1-2 hours, so your team can even use break or lunchtimes to charge up. The battery is sealed inside the forklift, allowing you to use the vehicle indoors or outside.

A NEW STANDARD IN SAFETY & PERFORMANCE
Traditional lithium-powered batteries are prone to safety issues, like overheating, leaks and fires. The BYD iron phosphate battery is completely sealed to protect employees. It has been rigorously tested to ensure it can withstand the most extreme abuse and impact without cracking, leaking, perforation, burning, or explosion.

Advantages of the iron phosphate battery over lithium cobalt oxide models and other varieties include:

Unmatched cost savings – eliminate the need for maintenance, planned maintenance, and battery service. There are no battery maintenance costs.
Safer handling – Employees have no contact with the 2000 lb. batteries, dangerous acid, and flammable gas. There is no need to water or vent the battery because it will not overheat or crack under pressure.
Unparalleled longevity – The iron phosphate battery lasts longer than any other type, lasting ten years at full capacity and 70 percent after 15 years of operation.
Eco-friendly – There are no harmful or corrosive chemicals or hazardous materials that can complicate the disposal or recycling process.
Indoor/Outdoor/All-weather performance – The iron phosphate battery performs incredibly well in extreme temperatures, plunging as low as -40 degrees Celsius. It is sealed and waterproof inside the forklift for operation inside or outside, in wet or dry environments.
Free-up warehouse space – say goodbye to charging stations and all the cranes, hoists, and other lift equipment needed to change out batteries.
BYD is SO confident in the iron phosphate battery’s safety and functionality that it comes with a 10-year Manufacturer’s Warranty.
