Lithium batteries for AGV (automated guided vehicles) & industrial trucks: etaSTORE
Lithium iron phosphate- & Lithium-titanate Batteries (LTO) for AGV, AMR & mobile robots
Batteries for industrial trucks, mobile robots and autonomous vehicles have very special requirements in terms of performance, lifespan and charging cycles, which is why high-quality lithium-ion batteries are important to avoid unnecessary costs. Knowledge of how to correctly charge the batteries is also important to ensure safety and maintain the functionality of the batteries for industrial trucks.
Lithium-ion batteries offer numerous advantages. They have a higher efficiency, a much higher energy density and a longer life cycle. They are also much less maintenance than lead acid batteries. Above all, it is possible to charge lithium-ion batteries during short breaks throughout operation with the etaLINK wireless charging system. This wireless in-process charging is essential for the complete automation of the logistics process, also for two or three working shifts.
The lithium battery technology for automated guided vehicles (AGV) have, in addition to the much longer operating time, lifespan and faster charging time, the recharge efficiency exceeds by far and you no longer have to be afraid of the batteries being completely discharged. In the medium term, such automated guided vehicle batteries are cheaper in contrast to the classic lead-acid batteries (SLAB).
Lithium-titanate batteries (LiFePO4 and LTO for AGV)
Wherever the highest demands are placed on endurance, special Li-ion batteries are required. The disadvantages of classic lead-acid batteries are:
- Cleaning and greasing the battery poles
- Checking the connections
- Checking and filling up the battery water levels
- Cleaning the chargers
They are completely eliminated with the Wiferion system solution, consisting of etaSTORE batteries and the etaLINK systems.
Lithium battery for high performance: etaSTORE
With the automated guided vehicle battery etaSTORE we rely entirely on lithium iron phosphate & lithium-titanate battery technology for AGV. It enables in-process charging, has long lifetimes, significantly simplified processes, battery management and lean infrastructures – and is therefore the most economical solution in logistics in the long term. The close cooperation among other things with Japanese battery cell manufacturers guarantees the outstanding longevity of the battery pack and energy storage, with highest temperature performance, best electrode material for the highest level of safety.
All batteries can be used modularly, have a BMS and meet the current applicable IEC standard 62619 for use in industrial applications as well as UL 2271 – so you can also use etaSTORE outdoors. etaSTORE from Wiferion delivers a operating voltage of 24 V and can be connected in series in pairs of two and at a multiple of that. Thereforey you are able to replace lead-acid batteries, like those used in many service robots, AGVs and electric-powered forklifts with the highest battery safety.
Faster
- Extremely long service life even at high charging rate
- In-Process-Charging and high C-rates for fast charging and greater availability with smaller battery capacities
- Low stand-by consumption and extremely low self-discharge rates
Simpler
- Capacity can be scaled according to requirements
- Real-time management of charging and discharging process for optimum battery use
- Very compact
- CAN-Bus connectivity for simple integration into your processes
More cost-effective
- Batteries have a service life of up to ten years, covering the entire lifespan of one or more vehicles
- Batteries no longer have to be replaced midway through a process
- No need for separate charging infrastructure or storage of spare batteries

We would be happy to advise you on the rechargeable batteries, complete energy storage systems and advantages of our charging technology and chargers, including in a personal discussion. We will find the right and individual charging solution for you, based on your individual vehicle details and fleet size:
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on batteries or rechargeable batteries means that they must not be disposed of with household waste at the end of their service life. If batteries or rechargeable batteries contain mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), or lead (Pb), the respective chemical symbol appears below the crossed-out wheeled bin. You are legally required to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries after use. You can do this free of charge at a retail store.
Batteries may contain substances that are harmful to the environment and human health. Particular care is required because of the specific risks associated with handling lithium-containing batteries. Separate collection and recycling of used batteries and rechargeable batteries are intended to prevent adverse effects on the environment and human health.
Please avoid generating waste from used batteries wherever possible, for example by choosing longer-lasting or rechargeable batteries. Please avoid littering public spaces by not leaving batteries or electrical and electronic equipment containing batteries lying around carelessly. Please consider ways to reuse a battery instead of disposing of it, for example by reconditioning or repairing it.
