AGV BATTERY SYSTEMS
Custom AGV Battery Solutions
Stellova develops each custom AGV battery pack around route duty cycle, payload, traction peaks, fleet availability and charging windows. 48V AGV battery and opportunity charging battery configurations are engineered against the vehicle interface, charger and operating schedule.
AGV APPLICATION CHALLENGES
AGV Battery Design Must Protect Vehicle Availability
AGVs often operate across long shifts with repeated acceleration, steering, lifting and conveyor loads. Battery sizing must account for route length, payload, peak-current duration, charging windows and fleet utilization—not only nominal capacity.
RECOMMENDED BATTERY DEFINITION
Coordinate Energy, Peak Power and Opportunity Charging
The pack, charger and vehicle controller should be defined as one system. The final specification depends on the measured duty cycle and the operating model of the fleet.
Peak power
Verify acceleration, grade, lifting and conveyor peaks with their duration and repetition.
Charging availability
Select plug-in, docking, fast or opportunity charging around fleet utilization and charger limits.
BMS integration
Agree protection thresholds, SOC/SOH reporting and RS485, RS232 or CAN communication with the vehicle controller.
AGV-SPECIFIC ENGINEERING
High Utilization Changes the Charging and Thermal Design
For multi-shift or 24/7 operation, charging frequency, current, rest time and thermal behavior can determine availability as much as nominal energy.
Fleet duty cycle
Use representative routes, payloads and congestion rather than a single unloaded route.
Opportunity charging
Confirm contact design, alignment, charge current, communication and thermal limits for repeated short charge events.
Peak-load verification
Validate motor, lift and conveyor peaks against BMS and connector limits, including pulse duration.
Environmental definition
Specify temperature, moisture, dust, vibration and the required enclosure target; IP65/IP67 and -20°C to 60°C can be evaluated when required.

AGV BATTERY FAQ
Questions to Resolve Before Prototype and Vehicle Testing
The answers must be tied to the actual route, load profile, charger and vehicle-control strategy.
How should an AGV battery be sized for multi-shift use?
Combine route energy, payload, auxiliaries, reserve and charging opportunities; do not rely on nominal runtime alone.
Can AGVs use opportunity charging?
Yes, when contact design, charge current, alignment, communication and thermal limits are validated for repeated short sessions.
How are lift and acceleration peaks handled?
Peak current, duration and repetition are measured or documented, then checked against cells, BMS, connectors and cables.
Is ST-AGV-01 a standard stock battery?
No. It is a project reference configuration; final parameters are customized and approved for the target AGV.
