As the core power component of BYD electric forklift, the on-board lithium battery directly affects the overall operating efficiency and usage cost of the handling equipment. As Jianshu New Energy, a professional team focusing on BYD electric forklift products, we have summarized practical reference information on the service life and daily care tips of the supporting lithium battery based on long-term front-line service experience.

Under standard operating conditions that the forklift runs within the rated load range and is operated in line with official operation specifications, the BYD forklift lithium battery can reach a stable service cycle of more than 5 years, and the available capacity can still maintain more than 70% of the initial level after long-term use. The actual service life will be affected by multiple factors including daily operation habits, charging management, and operating ambient temperature.

For daily care, the first tip is to avoid over-discharge operation. It is recommended to arrange charging in time when the remaining power is lower than 20%, and avoid using the battery until the power is completely exhausted, which will cause irreversible damage to the internal active material of the battery.

Second, standardize the charging process. Use the original matching charging device, complete the charging work in a ventilated, dry and temperature-appropriate environment, do not pull out the power forcibly during the full charge balancing stage, and do not stack sundries around the battery and charging pile to avoid potential safety hazards.

Third, pay attention to the working environment temperature adaptation. Avoid using the forklift in an environment with extreme temperature higher than 55 degrees Celsius or lower than minus 20 degrees Celsius for a long time. If it needs to be used in a special temperature scene, it is recommended to pre-adjust the battery temperature to the suitable range before operation.

Fourth, do a good job of regular appearance inspection. Check the battery shell regularly every 2 weeks, wipe the dust and accumulated water on the surface with a dry soft cloth, check whether the plug and wiring harness are loose or worn, and arrange professional personnel for troubleshooting in time if abnormal signs are found. Do not disassemble the battery shell without professional permission, which may damage the built-in protection system of the battery.

Standardized daily care can effectively extend the actual service life of the BYD forklift lithium battery, reduce the long-term use cost of the handling equipment, and bring more stable operation performance for logistics, manufacturing and other operation scenarios.
