Like many of you, when I first learned of BYD I also thought it was too good to be true but eight months later I have become a believer. Due to BYD's Iron Phosphate (Fe) battery technology they are able to deliver features no one else in the MHE industry can even come close to such as: No battery watering (ever!), No battery swapping, Increased run time (outperforms any lead acid battery), ability to opportunity / fast charge with no harmful effect on the battery life, Full charge in 90 minutes or less, No equalization charging (ever!), No heat from the battery, the safest battery in the MHE industry, and by far the best feature - 10 years / 20,000 hour FULL battery replacement warranty!!
The BYD forklift itself is also very impressive as it is engineered and built very solid along with having a handful of standard features that many other manufactures either don't offer or charge a ridiculous amount of money to add to their forklifts.
I completely believe the BYD forklift is about to quickly become an industry disruptor here in the US market.
