What is a LEAD-WIN robot battery?

LEAD-WIN is an industry-leading manufacturer of lithium batteries for robot power, offering 24V lithium batteries, 48V lithium batteries, 72V lithium batteries, and other popular robot batteries. Our lithium robotics batteries contain their own battery management system to prevent overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent and overheating conditions. It automatically balances the cells and modules to maximise energy use.

Types of robot battery

There are two types of batteries typically available on the market: lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries.

Lead-acid batteries are one of the most common battery types. They are an affordable option with a low initial cost, and can also be adequate for everyday use in simple, low-cost robots. They typically last about 2-3 years and it is often necessary to check the batteries to make sure there is enough water in them. If there is not enough water, add distilled water to prevent damage to the battery.

There are several main types of lithium robot batteries, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium ternary (NCA/NMC) and lithium cobaltate (LCO). Each of these batteries has its own characteristics and is suitable for robots with different needs. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have high safety and long life, suitable for robots that need to run stably for a long time; lithium ternary batteries have high energy density and fast charging speed, suitable for robots that need high energy output; lithium cobalt acid batteries are generally used in high-end robotics due to their high price.

Differences between Lithium Batteries and Lead-acid Batteries for Robots

Compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries for robots have obvious advantages. First, lithium batteries have higher energy density, smaller size, and lighter weight, allowing robots to carry more energy and improve endurance. Second, lithium batteries charge faster, reducing robot downtime. In addition, lithium batteries have a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs, reducing the overall cost of ownership of the robot.

How long is the service life of a robot battery

The service life of lithium robot batteries is affected by a variety of factors, such as the type of battery (lead-acid and lithium batteries), the use of the scene, the charging method and so on. Generally speaking, the cycle life of lithium iron phosphate batteries can reach more than 2,000 times (100% DOD), while the cycle life of lead-acid batteries is a little shorter, but can also reach about 500 times. Of course, in the actual use, you also need to pay attention to the care and maintenance, charging skills, in order to extend the service life of the battery.

How can I extend the life of my robot's battery?

1. Care and Maintenance

The purpose of routine maintenance is to slow down the aging of the lithium battery by placing it in the right environment.

Here are two maintenance tips we need to follow.

  • Protect from moisture.
  • And avoid direct sunlight.

2. Charging Tips

  • Avoid over-charging and over-discharging: you should avoid over-charging when charging and over-discharging when discharging to avoid damage to the battery.
  • Choose the right charger: Please use the charger that matches the battery for charging to ensure charging efficiency and safety.
  • Keep the charging environment suitable: During the charging process, the charging environment should be kept dry and ventilated to avoid too high or too low temperature.
  • Regular charging and discharging: Batteries that have not been used for a long time should be charged and discharged regularly to maintain the activity of the battery.

Application Scenarios of Lithium Battery for Robot

Robot lithium batteries are widely used in various robotics fields, such as sweeping robots, low-speed unmanned vehicles, drones, and industrial robots. These robots need a stable and reliable energy supply to support their long-time, high-intensity operation. Li-ion batteries have become the preferred energy solution in the field of robotics due to their high energy density, long lifespan and fast charging.

Why choose our lithium robot battery

Our lithium robot batteries are made of high-quality A-grade cells, which are subject to strict production processes and quality control to ensure the stability and reliability of our products. Meanwhile, we offer a wide range of models and specifications of lithium batteries to meet the needs of different robots. In addition, we also provide professional after-sales service and technical support to ensure that our customers receive timely and effective help in the process of use.

Where can I get a custom battery pack for my robot?

We provide professional customised Li-ion battery packs for robots and can tailor the battery packs to your specific needs. If you have special requirements on size, voltage, capacity, and charge/discharge current, you are welcome to contact the LEAD-WIN technical team for a customised solution.
