What are the commonly used batteries for AGV cars?

AGVs are often powered by 24V or 48V DC industrial batteries. The battery power supply should reach the rated ampere-hour value. Generally, it should ensure the working needs of more than 8h. For the second-class working environment, the power supply capacity of 17h or more is required. The battery charging can be performed by random charging and full-cycle charging. The random charging uses an auto-repairable battery that can be arbitrarily charged.

At the standby parking station of the AGV, it can be charged at any time without any time limit. Full-cycle charging requires the AGV to exit the service and enter the specified charging zone and be charged when the battery charge drops below the specified range. Such batteries typically perform a 4 h continuous charge, 2 h cooling specification. Some AGVs use a combination of the above two charging methods. There are three types of charging operations: automatic, manual and quick change.

1, nickel-cadmium battery

The internal resistance is small, it can be discharged by large current, and the voltage change during discharge is small compared with other types of batteries. The nickel-cadmium battery can withstand overcharging or discharging, and the operation is simple and convenient. The discharge voltage is somewhat different depending on the discharge current. The discharge termination voltage of the nickel-cadmium battery of about 1. 2V is 1. OV/cell, and the actual temperature range is -200C-600C, and discharge can be performed within this range. It can repeat 500 times of charge and discharge.

2, nickel-metal hydride battery

Nickel-metal hydride battery is twice as powerful as nickel-cadmium battery. It can be charged quickly in one hour by special charger. The self-discharge characteristics are better than nickel-cadmium batteries. It can be retained for a longer time after charging. It can be repeated for more than 500 times. put.

3, lithium battery

Has a high energy density. The volumetric energy is 1.5 times and the energy density is twice that of the high-capacity nickel-cadmium battery. High voltage, the average operating voltage is 3. 6V, which is three times that of nickel-cadmium battery and nickel-hydrogen battery. The voltage is flat and high-capacity, and the wide operating temperature is -200C-600C. The charge and discharge life is long. After 500 discharges, the capacity is at least 70%. The lithium battery has the characteristics of high energy density, high voltage and stable operation.

4, lead-acid battery

Lead-acid batteries are the most widely used batteries in AGV. They use sponge-like lead as the negative electrode and lead dioxide as the positive electrode. We call these two substances active substances and use sulfuric acid aqueous solution as the electrolyte. They participate in the battery. chemical reaction. The agv lead-acid battery has the advantages of good reversibility, stable voltage characteristics, long service life, wide application range, abundant raw materials (and renewable use) and low cost. It is mainly used in various fields of national economy such as transportation, mining, port, national defense, computer, scientific research, etc. It is an indispensable product in social production and management activities and human life.
