Warren,

I certainly look forward to the development of the new battery for electric forklifts. Perhaps a few other factors to look into to make the use of electric forklifts more attractive:

- lighter batteries (no need to use large overhead cranes for battery change

- portable charger, mounted with forklift (helps to dispense with the need of a large battery storage and charging room)

- longer run time (drivers need not run charge up battery too often as it disrupts work operations)

- economical (battery should not cost exhorbitantly high)
