What is AGV Battery Technology?


Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are revolutionizing industries with their efficiency and precision. Central to their operation is the AGV battery, which plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, reliability, and performance. Here’s a comprehensive look at the key features and technologies that define AGV batteries, particularly focusing on lithium-ion solutions provided by experts like RICHYE.

Safety and Stability of AGV Lithium Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are known for their high energy density and longevity, making them an excellent choice for AGVs. To enhance safety and stability, RICHYE implements several protective measures:

  1. Battery Management System (BMS):

    • Our lithium-ion batteries are equipped with a sophisticated BMS that monitors and controls battery voltage, current, and temperature. This system ensures that the battery operates within predefined limits, safeguarding against potential hazards.
  2. Communication Protocols:

    • The BMS uses Controller Area Network (CAN) communication, a robust protocol for transmitting data between the battery management system and the vehicle's controller. This ensures efficient and reliable communication of critical battery information.
  3. Response to Fault Conditions:

    • In cases of low voltage, high voltage, overcurrent, or excessive temperature, the BMS first triggers an alarm. It then sends a CAN signal to the AGV's main controller, which can initiate protective actions such as power reduction or shutdown to prevent damage.
  4. Interference and Leakage Protection:

    • Our battery management systems are designed with shielded wiring to resist electromagnetic interference. Additionally, for high voltage systems, we utilize insulation resistance modules to detect and protect against leakage currents.

Why Protection Boards Are Essential for Lithium Batteries

Unlike nickel-based batteries which use aqueous electrolytes and possess inherent protection features, lithium batteries use non-aqueous electrolytes and lack built-in protection against overcharging. Without a protection board, overcharging can lead to irreversible chemical reactions, risking fire or explosion. Therefore, a protective control device is critical for maintaining the safety of lithium batteries in AGVs.

Advanced Features of RICHYE AGV Batteries

Beyond safety, RICHYE's AGV lithium batteries are designed with several advanced features:
