VISTA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 19, 2015) - Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium batteries for industrial applications including electric forklifts, provided an update today on accelerating interest and demand for its LiFT Pack lithium batteries to power Class III electric forklifts or pallet jacks.

Flux has been stimulating growing customer traction, including pilots and initial orders, within the material handling industries of food and beverage distribution, grocery chains, logistics and trucking, and retail. Flux's third quarter ending March 31st (Q3'15) looks to be the strongest quarter yet for LiFT Pack activity, with unit shipment growth of 40% compared with Q2'15. While Flux is still in the early stages of its sales and marketing efforts, the demand trends are very encouraging.

With the launch of its LiFT Pack line last year, Flux has played a pioneering role in introducing the performance and cost benefits of lithium batteries versus legacy lead-acid solutions in the material handling industry. Flux Power's lithium batteries deliver substantially improved performance and a lower total cost of ownership compared to lead-acid batteries. The table below reviews piloting and initial purchases of Flux LiFT Packs with a select group of sixteen Flux regional and national accounts.
