BUILT TO POWER. ENGINEERED TO ENDURE.

The expected product performance of the battery will be comparable to the internal combustion engine equivalent, except it will provide instantaneous power for vehicle acceleration and lifting. In addition, the battery will provide power silently as it performs its lifting and product placement tasks.

Yes, there are charge ports on the side of the battery for charging. These are available in single- or dual-charging configurations.

No, the battery communicates directly with the truck via the communication harness, and the SOC is shown on the truck display.

The batteries are LiFePO4 or Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP).

LFP batteries are:

• More stable and tolerant to heat
• Lower cost
• More eco-friendly — they don’t require mining of rare metals such as cobalt or nickel
• Better suited against deep discharges
• Can perform more charge/discharge cycles for longer life

The battery packs are assembled following carefully designed build processes to maintain the highest quality. Quality checks are completed at each step of the manufacturing process to fully comply with established quality standards. When battery packs have been completely assembled, an end-of-line test is performed to make sure battery packs comply with the test specifications.

Numerous validation tests were performed including drop, electromagnetic compatibility/electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI), full operational temperature range, storage temperature, charge/discharge, fault and complete functional testing of all features.

Yes. The batteries are IP54 rated.

The BMS continuously monitors cell voltage, battery module temperature, and the overall pack current to help ensure the cells remain within their specified safe operation zone for voltage, temperature and current. This action is always performed, not only during charging and discharging.

During the charge process, the BMS constantly monitors the cell voltage, battery module temperature and overall battery pack current. The BMS continuously communicates with the charger via CAN messaging to adjust the charge current to keep the cells within their specified safe operation zone. If, at any time, any cell approaches an unsafe operation limit during charging, the BMS opens the charge contactor to stop the charging process to keep the cell safe.

Yes. Battery information is collected by Hyster Tracker when equipped on the truck.

It displays information such as state of charge (SOC), low SOC events, over/under temperature events, faults, energy consumption, usage versus charging time and lift lockout events.

Some telemetry parameters can be used to indicate misuse of the battery pack — specifically, repeated over-temperature faults and repeated discharge over-current faults.

There is no maintenance required for the battery pack itself — simply follow proper operating procedures. The battery pack will take care of itself.

• The battery is guaranteed 75% state of health (SOH) for 60 months or 3,000 cycles or 10,000 hours (whichever comes first) if lifetime average battery temperature is less than or equal to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the battery reaches above 60 months or above 3,000 cycles or above 10,000 hours, the battery is out of warranty.
• The battery is guaranteed 75% SOH for 60 months or 2,500 cycles or 8,000 hours (whichever comes first), if lifetime average battery temperature is between 95 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The battery is guaranteed 75% SOH for 60 months or 2,000 cycles or 6,000 hours (whichever comes first), if lifetime average battery temperature is greater than, or equal to 113 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

The battery pack should be stored in a dry environment within a 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit temperature range and less than 50% SOC to help ensure maximum battery life.

Less than 3.5% per month.

The expected warranty life cycle of the battery is 3,000 charge/discharge cycles if operated at an internal battery temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit or less.

It is possible. Hyster determines if the battery pack can be refurbished after doing a check of each of the modules within the battery pack to assess the state of health spread between them. Based on those results, the refurbishment plan of action will be determined.

Custom Hyster CAN communication protocol is used between the battery and charger. Therefore, only Hyster chargers can currently be used with Hyster lithium-ion batteries.

No, lead acid battery chargers cannot be used to charge Hyster lithium-ion batteries. The chargers for Hyster lithium-ion batteries cannot be used for lead acid batteries, there is no charging profile for lead acid batteries within the chargers.

No, Hyster lithium-ion batteries use a proprietary protocol with Hyster chargers. Additionally, Hyster batteries require a power signal from the charger, which many third-party chargers do not offer.

Chargers are initially set up for specific output voltages. There is a configurable key in the connector that determines which voltage will be used while charging. The cable assembly can be swapped to reconfigure the voltage setting.

Yes. On certain models, you can use up to two chargers to charge a single battery. Dual charging must be equipped on the battery, and the battery will limit the total charge current allowed. For example, if charge current limit of the battery is 400 amps (A), but two chargers are plugged in at 300A each, the battery will only charge at 400A, not 600A.

No, the operator is prevented from driving if the battery is charging.

Yes, the charger can be ordered at the same time as the truck and delivered from the factory.

For three-phase chargers, four wire flying leads are included. These must be connected by a licensed electrician.

Warranty coverage extends up to two years.

As long as the charger is installed in an appropriate environment as specified, minimal maintenance is required. Periodic inspections should be performed per the manual.
