Put breaks
to work.
Top up during scheduled stops with opportunity charging. Build energy replenishment into your workflow instead of relying only on a long charging window after work.
BYD LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE
The strength
The strength
starts with
the battery.
Every lift starts with energy. BYD brings its battery expertise to the entire forklift—combining lithium iron phosphate power, intelligent battery management, and a matched charger to keep your operation moving.
POWER THAT CHANGES THE WORKDAYA better battery.
A better battery.
A stronger operation.
The battery shapes how you charge, how much daily upkeep you need, and how you plan the next shift. That is why it sits at the heart of the BYD forklift.
Put breaks
Leave watering
behind.
BYD LFP batteries eliminate the routine watering and electrolyte checks required by conventional flooded lead-acid batteries. A simpler battery routine gives your team fewer daily tasks.
One system.
All BYD.
BYD manufactures the forklift, battery, and charger. They are engineered to work together, with battery management coordinating the energy that drives and lifts your loads.
OPPORTUNITY CHARGING
Your team takes a break.
Your team takes a break.
Your battery gets ready.
Coffee breaks. Lunch. Shift changes. Available stops become opportunities to restore energy with a compatible BYD charger.
For a correctly sized application, that flexibility can support multiple shifts on one battery, reducing the need for battery exchanges and spare-battery handling.
Runtime and charging time depend on the truck, battery, charger, workload, temperature, and available power. Your charging plan should match your operation.THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE ADVANTAGEBattery expertise.
Battery expertise.
Built into every connection.
LiFePO4, also called LFP, is lithium iron phosphate. BYD pairs this lithium-ion chemistry with battery management and a purpose-matched charging system.
LFP energy storage
Known for long cycle-life potential and thermal stability, LFP is well suited to repeated industrial use. Its cathode chemistry does not require nickel or cobalt.
Intelligent coordination
The Battery Management System monitors battery conditions and manages charging and discharging within the system’s operating limits.
Matched to the battery
A compatible charger delivers energy through a coordinated charging process. Correct sizing helps make the most of the power and charging windows available at your facility.
Power put to work
The truck brings the system together for traction and lifting. Equipment selection considers the complete job: loads, travel, surfaces, and shifts.
Confidence comes from the complete system.
LFP chemistry is one part of battery safety. Pack design, battery management, the approved charger, and correct operation all matter.
SIMPLIFY THE BATTERY ROUTINE
Less tending.
Less tending.
More doing.
Give your team a battery routine designed around the work ahead.
No battery watering.
No routine electrolyte top-ups or water-level checks.
No lead-acid equalization routine.
Follow the BYD charging instructions for the selected system.
Less battery handling, where the application fits.
An appropriate charging plan can reduce the need to remove and exchange batteries between shifts.
Regular truck inspections, connector care, and manufacturer-specified service still apply.
VALUE THROUGH THE WORKING LIFELook beyond
Look beyond
the purchase price.
A forklift’s cost continues long after delivery. The BYD battery advantage starts with the way you use and maintain it every day.
Daily labor
Consider the time spent watering, checking electrolyte, and handling replacement batteries in your current operation.
Charging and space
Compare the charging equipment, electrical installation, spare batteries, and handling space each fleet strategy requires.
Service life
Evaluate usable capacity over time, your duty cycle, service support, and the written battery warranty for the quoted configuration.
Make the comparison around your shifts.
Discuss your operation
Bring your operating hours, break schedule, and current battery routine. Your dealer can help evaluate a complete BYD solution.
PRACTICAL ANSWERSReady for
Ready for
your workday?
Can one battery support multiple shifts?
For a correctly sized application, opportunity charging during breaks can support multiple shifts on one battery. Your dealer sizes the battery and charger around your operating hours, loads, and break schedule.
How quickly can we charge?
Charging time depends on the battery capacity, charger, available power, and state of charge. BYD batteries can be charged at any time, for any length of time, so short breaks can add energy without a fixed charging schedule.
Does the battery need maintenance?
BYD LFP batteries do not need watering or equalization charging. Follow the BYD charging instructions, keep connectors clean and undamaged, and complete manufacturer-specified truck service.
What about cold rooms or outdoor work?
Temperature affects runtime and charging. Share your operating temperatures and environment with your dealer so the equipment, battery, and charging plan can be confirmed for the application, including the charger’s installation requirements.
What warranty applies to our battery?
BYD lithium iron phosphate batteries are covered for up to 10 years or 20,000 hours on Class I, II, and VI equipment, and 8 years or 10,000 hours on Class III equipment, whichever comes first, with 65% or greater remaining capacity. See warranty coverage
