Sizing Lithium Packs to AGV Run Time Needs

Sizing lithium packs to match agv run time needs is a core task for optimizing intelligent logistics operation efficiency and controlling overall input cost. Many industrial users tend to select lithium packs with excessive capacity blindly in previous practices, which leads to unnecessary extra procurement cost and waste of installation space, while undersized lithium packs will cause AGV to fail to meet the expected continuous running time, interrupt normal production and logistics scheduling.

To complete the sizing work properly, the first step is to collect full actual operation data of the AGV under real working conditions, including the continuous working current under rated load, power consumption generated by frequent start and stop actions, extra power consumption for climbing and heavy load handling, and the capacity attenuation coefficient of lithium batteries in extreme temperature environments, which should not be ignored. All these data should be collected for no less than three full working cycles to ensure the accuracy of basic parameters.

The next step is to calculate the required total available capacity according to the actual required AGV continuous run time, reserve 10% to 15% of reasonable safety redundancy to avoid the negative impact of long-term full discharge on the lithium battery cycle life, and at the same time check the physical space reserved for the battery compartment of the AGV to ensure the size of the customized lithium pack can be installed smoothly without modification of the original vehicle structure. Users can also combine the planned opportunity fast charging solution to appropriately adjust the lithium pack capacity, to get a more cost-effective overall configuration.

In the long term practice of industrial lithium battery supporting, Jianshu New Energy has accumulated rich experience in lithium pack sizing for different AGV application scenarios, which can provide users with full range of technical support from data collection to final plan verification. The mature power configuration logic applied in BYD Forklift related AGV matching projects has also been widely recognized by industrial end users. If you have related demands for customized lithium pack sizing for AGV run time matching, you can send your specific project parameters to 17399989919@163.com to get professional technical response. Before finalizing the lithium pack specification, it is also recommended to carry out no less than 72 hours of continuous field test under actual working conditions, to verify whether the actual run time can reach the design target, and make fine adjustment of the capacity parameter according to the test result, to ensure the final configuration can fully meet the long term stable operation demand of the AGV system.
