BSLBATT has officially appointed AHORRO Y SUSTENTABILIDAD S. DE R.L. DE C.V., operating commercially under the Amperium brand, as its exclusive lithium battery distributor in Mexico. The appointment covers BSLBATT’s full range of lithium battery solutions for forklifts and industrial equipment, and formalizes a working relationship the two companies have built over more than a decade.
Under the new agreement, Amperium will serve as the primary point of contact for BSLBATT lithium battery customers across Mexico, handling sales, after-sales service, and technical support in Spanish. For BSLBATT, the appointment reflects a broader strategy of pairing its battery technology with distributors who already have established service infrastructure on the ground.
The two companies describe the arrangement as more than a standard distribution contract. It brings together BSLBATT’s manufacturing and engineering capabilities with Amperium’s regional presence, technical staff, and long-standing customer relationships in the Mexican industrial battery market.
BSLBATT and Amperium Strengthen Lithium Battery Support Across Mexico
BSLBATT Appoints Amperium as Exclusive Distributor in Mexico
BSLBATT selected Amperium after evaluating the company’s track record in after-sales service and its operational experience supporting industrial battery customers. Several factors informed the decision:
A demonstrated after-sales service record with existing industrial customers
Technical and operational expertise in battery systems and equipment support
Established relationships with customers across Mexico’s industrial sector
The ability to provide local, Spanish-language technical support
Working knowledge of the operating conditions and requirements common to Mexican and Latin American industrial markets
As the exclusive distributor, Amperium will manage the sale and support of BSLBATT’sforklift lithium battery lineup, along with related products for material handling and industrial vehicle applications, throughout Mexico.
A Partnership Built on More Than a Decade of Cooperation
The distributor appointment did not emerge from a cold start. It builds on a relationship that engineer David Zabala has maintained with BSLBATT for more than ten years.
Over that period, Zabala’s work in after-sales service and technical support has given both organizations a shared, practical understanding of how BSLBATT’s battery systems perform in real operating environments. That history matters here: it means the cooperation announced today is grounded in technical familiarity built over years of direct engagement, not a distribution agreement negotiated from a standing start.
His continued involvement gives BSLBATT and Amperium a common technical reference point as the exclusive distribution relationship moves into its next phase.
A Long-Standing Vote of Confidence in BSLBATT
Amperium’s leadership brings a similar depth of history to the relationship. Andrés Garza, engineer, managing partner, and CEO of Amperium, has followed BSLBATT’s development closely for a number of years.
“Over the years, we have had the opportunity to witness BSLBATT’s continued development, its product improvements, and its steady progress toward becoming a world-class technology manufacturer. That familiarity has given us confidence in the quality of what BSLBATT builds, and it reflects the value BSLBATT brings to its strategic partners.”
That confidence, built through direct observation of BSLBATT’s product evolution rather than a single sales pitch, is part of what makes the exclusive distributor appointment a natural next step for both companies.
A Message from BSLBATT Founder Eric Yi
BSLBATT founder Eric Yi framed the appointment as an extension of the company’s approach to entering new markets through partners who already understand local customer needs.
“We are pleased to bring high-quality lithium battery solutions to Amperium’s customers across Mexico and the broader Latin American market. BSLBATT and Amperium share the same belief that product quality and reliable service are essential to meeting customers’ operational needs. Working with Amperium, a company with strong experience in battery services, will help us move closer to our vision of making lithium battery technology a key driver of industrial development.”
Why the BSLBATT–Amperium Alliance Matters
Amperium was formed through the merger of two established distribution companies that had each built a track record across central and northern Mexico. That combined background gives Amperium decades of accumulated industry experience, a regional reputation, and working knowledge of the technical support and customer service expectations of Mexican industrial buyers.
For BSLBATT, aligning with a distributor built this way brings three practical benefits to the market.
1. Strengthen Customer Confidence
Customers in Mexico gain a direct, local channel to BSLBATT’s industrial lithium battery solutions, supported by a distributor with an existing service footprint rather than a remote sales contact.
2. Provide 24/7 Spanish-Language Technical Support
Amperium will provide 24/7 Spanish-language technical support, serving as the communication link between local customers and the BSLBATT engineering team in China. This keeps response times short and removes the language barrier that can slow down technical troubleshooting for industrial equipment.
3. Support Training and Industry Engagement
Amperium will support employee training and take part in industry events, helping build BSLBATT’s visibility and presence in the Mexican market over time rather than through a single product launch.
Expanding Access to Lithium Battery Technology in Mexico
Industrial operators across Mexico are increasingly evaluating lithium battery power for forklifts and material handling equipment, largely because of the operational trade-offs involved. Compared with conventional lead-acid batteries, lithium-based systems are typically associated with:
Reduced maintenance requirements, since there is no watering or equalizing charge routine
Support for opportunity charging during shift breaks, which can help maintain fleet uptime
Improved energy efficiency across a duty cycle
A lower total cost of ownership over the life of the battery
Fewer emissions and disposal concerns tied to lead-acid chemistry
BSLBATT and Amperium intend to make this class of technology more accessible to industrial customers in Mexico by pairing BSLBATT’s engineering with a distributor equipped to handle local sales, installation guidance, and ongoing service.

Intelligent Lithium Battery Solutions for Industrial Equipment
LiFePO4 Battery Technology
BSLBATT builds its industrial battery line around LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry, which is widely used across forklifts, material handling equipment, industrial vehicles, ground support equipment (GSE), and other demanding industrial applications where duty cycles are long and equipment uptime matters.
Battery Management System
Each battery integrates a BMS that monitors cell status, manages charging and discharging behavior, and protects the pack from conditions such as overcharge, over-discharge, and thermal stress. This gives operators greater visibility into battery health and supports more consistent, reliable performance across a fleet.
Cloud Platform
BSLBATT’s cloud platform allows for remote monitoring of battery status and operational data, giving fleet managers a way to track battery performance without needing to inspect each unit manually. This supports broader fleet management efforts, particularly for customers running multiple pieces of industrial vehicle equipment across a facility.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Over the service life of the battery, customers typically see the total-cost benefit come from several directions at once: reduced maintenance needs, a longer usable service life than lead-acid alternatives, higher energy efficiency, support for opportunity charging, less frequent battery replacement, and improved equipment utilization during peak operating hours.
Built Around Safety and International Standards
BSLBATT’s lithium battery products are certified to UL2580, IEC, CE, and UN38.3 standards. These certifications relate to the testing, safety design, and transport compliance requirements applicable to industrial lithium batteries, and they form part of how BSLBATT documents the safety engineering built into its products. Certification to these standards does not eliminate all risk associated with battery operation, but it reflects testing against recognized international benchmarks for battery safety and handling.
What the Partnership Means for Customers
For industrial customers in Mexico, the practical effect of this appointment is straightforward. Through Amperium, customers gain:
Local access to BSLBATT’s lithium battery solutions without going through an international sales process
Spanish-language technical support for both pre-sale questions and in-service troubleshooting
After-sales service backed by a distributor with existing service infrastructure
Product and employee training to help teams operate and maintain lithium-powered equipment correctly
Local market support from a team familiar with Mexican industrial operating conditions
Looking Ahead: Building a Stronger Lithium Battery Service Network
BSLBATT and Amperium both describe this appointment as the starting point of a longer-term effort rather than a one-time distribution announcement. The focus going forward centers on customer support, technical training, and continued participation in industry events, with the goal of building out a stronger lithium battery service network across Mexico and, over time, the broader Latin American region.
Neither company has set specific sales targets tied to the announcement. The stated priority is building the service and support infrastructure needed to support lithium battery adoption in the region over the long term.
Conclusion
The exclusive distributor appointment brings together BSLBATT’s battery technology, Amperium’s local expertise, and a working relationship between the two teams that predates the formal agreement by more than a decade. Combined with 24/7 Spanish-language technical support and ongoing training, the partnership is structured to support customers well beyond the initial equipment purchase.
