At present, AGV batteries are mainly divided into lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries. For the same AGV product, many AGV brands have also launched lithium-ion and lead-acid versions. Many consumers feel tempted by this, what do lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries mean for AGVs? Should we choose AGV lithium-ion batteries or AGV lead-acid batteries?

Battery is one of the core components of AGV, and its quality directly affects the normal use of AGV. There is no fundamental difference in principle between lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries, but there are significant differences in the use of AGV lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries due to differences in the raw materials used.

In terms of lifespan, the number of cycles for lead-acid batteries is about 300-400, and the normal lifespan is 1-2 years. The cycle times of lithium-ion battery packs are usually between 800 and 1200, with a normal lifespan of 3-5 years. Proper maintenance can prolong the lifespan, effectively reducing the cost of battery replacement for users.

Lithium ion batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth generation product of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996. Their safety, specific capacity, self discharge rate, and cost-effectiveness are all superior to lithium-ion batteries. Due to its own high-tech requirements, only a few companies in a few countries are currently producing this type of lithium metal battery.

With the development of society, AGV cars are becoming more and more widely used in warehousing, manufacturing, post offices, chemicals, and hazardous situations. Especially in the automotive field. The important purpose of lithium ion batteries is to supply power for AGV cars. Lithium ion batteries have the advantages of more cycle charging and discharging times, low self discharge rate, long service life, strong deep discharge capacity, high charging efficiency, strong power, strong seismic capacity, less protection or no protection. Advantages: Small size, light weight, long service life, high replacement efficiency, deep charging and discharging capability, intelligent management, providing reliable and high-quality power for AGV cars.

In summary, lithium-ion batteries outperform lead-acid in terms of range, battery life, machine handling, and charging convenience. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries are the best choice for AGV small cars.
