Batteries for industrial trucks, mobile robots and autonomous vehicles have very special requirements in terms of performance, lifespan and charging cycles, which is why high-quality lithium-ion batteries are important to avoid unnecessary costs. Knowledge of how to correctly charge the batteries is also important to ensure safety and maintain the functionality of the batteries for industrial trucks.
Lithium-ion batteries offer numerous advantages. They have a higher efficiency, a much higher energy density and a longer life cycle. They are also much less maintenance than lead acid batteries. Above all, it is possible to charge lithium-ion batteries during short breaks throughout operation with the etaLINK wireless charging system. This wireless in-process charging is essential for the complete automation of the logistics process, also for two or three working shifts.
The lithium battery technology for automated guided vehicles (AGV) have, in addition to the much longer operating time, lifespan and faster charging time, the recharge efficiency exceeds by far and you no longer have to be afraid of the batteries being completely discharged. In the medium term, such automated guided vehicle batteries are cheaper in contrast to the classic lead-acid batteries (SLAB).
Wherever the highest demands are placed on endurance, special Li-ion batteries are required. The disadvantages of classic lead-acid batteries are:
Cleaning and greasing the battery poles
Checking the connections
Checking and filling up the battery water levels
Cleaning the chargers
They are completely eliminated with the Wiferion system solution, consisting of etaSTORE batteries and the etaLINK systems.
