I have heard of people getting worn out BEV batteries and using them for home solar storage.

A little research say Telsa battery pack units run 22.8 Volts and charge at 25 volts. This is as new condition, used who knows?
That voltage is for the individual cells in the Tesla battery pack. The entire pack output is more like 400 volts. Adapting a BEV battery pack to an old battery forklift would be a VERY challenging project. Not saying it can't be done, but it's likely cheaper to buy a new forklift.
