Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) is an industrial vehicle that loads goods automatically or manually, drives or pulls the loaded cart to the designated place according to the set route, and then loads and unloads the goods automatically or manually, which is mostly used in the scenes of logistics warehouses, large-scale storage, and production workshops.
AGVs mainly use lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries as their battery types.
Lead-acid Battery: It is a more traditional battery type with relatively low cost and good reliability. However, lead-acid batteries are heavier and larger, take longer to charge, and are more cumbersome to maintain.
Lithium-ion Battery: Lithium-ion batteries have become the mainstream choice for AGVs due to their higher energy density, smaller size and weight. It has a long charging life, low self-discharge rate and high charging efficiency, while there is no memory effect.
Nickel-metal Hydride Battery (NiMH): Compared with lead-acid batteries, NiMH batteries have higher energy density and lighter weight, shorter charging time and are environmentally friendly. However, it is relatively expensive and has certain self-discharge problems.

Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery: Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is getting more and more attention in AGV. It has high safety, long cycle life and wide operating temperature range. Compared with other lithium-ion batteries, Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery has lower heat generation and faster charging speed.
The communication protocols of AGV batteries on the market at present are mainly: RS485, CAN, RS232, Bluetooth, UART and so on, which can be chosen according to your needs.
In addition, the capacity of AGV battery is usually between 5Ah and 200Ah, depending on the vehicle's load, traveling distance and working time and other factors. In order to meet different application requirements, AGVs are usually equipped with multiple battery modules, which can be combined in parallel and series to realize the required capacity and voltage.
It is necessary to take into account the rated value voltage and maximum voltage of the output terminal, and clarify the voltage and raw material of the lithium battery. The rated value voltage of the battery cannot be less than the rated value voltage of the motor. The full-scale electric voltage of the battery can not be higher than the maximum voltage of the machine and equipment. The common voltage of AGV on the market is 24V, 48V, 72V.
With the rapid development of the new energy industry, lithium battery manufacturers are only increasing, only choose the right manufacturer, in order to have excellent quality batteries, choose the manufacturer, look at the certificate is complete, the company's size of the manufacturer, the PACK manufacturers on the market are uneven. Choosing a good lithium battery manufacturer, on the other hand, is very important.
LYBATT is a leading manufacturer of lithium batteries in China, the company's founding team has more than 20 years of experience working in the new energy industry, with professional and relevant knowledge, tell us your needs and we will give you the right solution and related products, and, LYBATT can provide a wide range of battery sizes and configurations, for those specific power requirements of the application, we can provide assistance with the design, development, testing, and manufacture of customized battery solutions, testing, and manufacture of customized battery solutions to meet the specific needs of virtually any application.
The exact battery type chosen depends on the design requirements of the AGV, the environment in which it will be used, performance needs, and cost considerations. As technology continues to advance and develop, the use of lithium-ion batteries in AGVs and other electric vehicles is gradually increasing because they offer relatively high performance and energy density.
