An automated guided vehicle is only as useful as the time it can spend moving goods. Its battery must fit the vehicle, communicate with its controls and recharge within the operating schedule. That makes choosing an AGV battery manufacturer different from buying a battery by voltage and capacity alone.
This guide compares companies with publicly described AGV or autonomous mobile robot (AMR) battery products and applications. SAFTEC publishes this article and places itself first as an editorial choice for custom LiFePO4 battery packs in OEM projects. The order is not a ranking by revenue, production volume or independently tested performance. If you are looking for vehicle builders, see our separate guide to AGV manufacturers.
How We Selected These AGV Battery Manufacturers
We looked for suppliers that describe a complete battery pack or battery system for AGVs or AMRs. That may include an enclosure, battery management system (BMS), vehicle communication and a charging solution. A company that makes battery cells alone does not automatically supply a battery ready to integrate into an AGV.
The companies below serve different needs. Some offer configurable industrial battery platforms; others develop packs around an OEM’s vehicle. Compare their published product scope and fit for your project, then confirm specifications, availability and commercial terms directly with each supplier.
Leading AGV Battery Manufacturers
SAFTEC — Custom LiFePO4 Packs for OEM Projects
SAFTEC manufactures LiFePO4 battery packs for AGV builders, automation integrators and volume equipment projects. Its AGV battery range includes 24V-class and 48V-class starting configurations, with capacity, enclosure, connectors and BMS communication evaluated against the vehicle requirements. This approach suits buyers working from a drawing or developing a battery specification for repeat production. SAFTEC supplies B2B projects rather than individual retail batteries.
EnerSys — Batteries and Charging for Industrial AGVs
EnerSys includes automated guided vehicles among the applications for its NexSys iON lithium battery systems. It also offers NexSys thin-plate pure lead (TPPL) batteries for certain AGV duties. That range makes EnerSys relevant when an operator is comparing battery and charging approaches across an industrial fleet. Buyers should confirm which battery line, charger and vehicle interface are proposed for their specific AGV.
Exide Technologies — Solition AGV Battery Systems
Exide Technologies describes dedicated lithium-ion systems for AGVs and AMRs, including its Solition AGV batteries and modular BMS approach. Its published AGV documentation makes it a useful candidate for buyers who want to evaluate a defined industrial battery platform. The important question for an OEM is how a proposed configuration will connect to the vehicle controller and charging equipment.
Discover Battery — AGV and AMR Fleet Applications
Discover Battery presents lithium battery solutions specifically for AGV and AMR manufacturers, integrators and fleet operators. Its application material also describes an AGV deployment with a robotics partner. Discover is worth considering where battery status information and integration across multiple vehicles matter. A fleet buyer should check the proposed pack, communication gateway and support scope together.
Wiferion — Batteries for In-Process Charging
Wiferion’s etaSTORE battery systems pair with its etaLINK wireless charging equipment. Its AGV range includes lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and lithium titanate (LTO) options. This makes Wiferion particularly relevant when vehicles will recharge automatically during short stops rather than leave service for a longer charging session. Wiferion currently marks the etaSTORE battery specifications on its website as available only in the EU, so regional availability needs checking.
Green Cubes Technology — Industrial Lithium for AGVs and AMRs
Green Cubes Technology offers lithium battery systems for AGV and AMR applications under its Lithium SAFEFlex range. Its focus on industrial motive power makes it relevant to warehouse and factory automation projects. Buyers comparing a standard solution with a new vehicle design should confirm the pack dimensions, BMS data available to the robot and the intended charging arrangement.
Inventus Power — Configurable and Custom Motive Batteries
Inventus Power works with OEMs through its PROformance lithium battery portfolio and custom battery development. It identifies AGVs and AMRs among its motive power applications. This offers two possible starting points: assess an existing battery platform or discuss a design around the vehicle. The OEM should establish early which route can meet its enclosure, software and production requirements.
Alexander Battery Technologies — Custom Robotics Packs
Alexander Battery Technologies describes custom battery pack manufacturing for robotics, AGVs and AMRs, including commercial-volume OEM programs. It is a relevant candidate when the pack must be designed into a compact robot or a new vehicle platform. Instead of assuming a published battery will fit, buyers can assess its development process against their mechanical and electrical design.
Tritek — Published AGV Battery Configurations
Tritek publishes dedicated AGV battery configurations, including a 25.6V LiFePO4 pack and more compact batteries using another lithium chemistry. Those examples show why “AGV battery” covers vehicles with very different space and energy requirements. A buyer can use a listed model as a starting point, then verify current demand, mounting and charging compatibility for the intended machine.
HIITIO — LiFePO4 AGV Battery Packs
HIITIO lists AGV battery packs within its LiFePO4 product range and describes OEM and ODM battery work for mobile equipment. It may suit buyers seeking a lithium pack supplier for an AGV or AMR program. As with any catalog-based starting point, the next step is to confirm the exact battery configuration and the manufacturer’s responsibility for BMS and vehicle integration.
How to Shortlist a Supplier for Your AGV Project
A list of manufacturers cannot establish whether a battery will work in your vehicle. First identify the kind of supply relationship you need: a repeatable pack designed into a new AGV, a configurable industrial system for a fleet, or a battery paired with automated charging infrastructure.
For a new vehicle, pay particular attention to the space available for the pack and who will define the BMS-to-vehicle communication. For a fleet, compare how charging stops fit the actual route and shift schedule. In either case, a matching “48V” label does not establish electrical or mechanical compatibility. Our AGV battery sizing guide covers capacity planning; the AGV charging guide covers opportunity charging and charger integration.
Discuss an OEM AGV Battery Project With SAFTEC
If you manufacture AGVs or AMRs, integrate automation equipment, or source batteries for volume projects, SAFTEC can review a LiFePO4 pack against your vehicle requirements.
To start a conversation, tell us the vehicle application, its existing or target battery voltage, and the approximate batch or annual quantity. If you have a battery label, layout or drawing, include it; detailed connector and communication requirements can be reviewed as the project develops. Explore our custom AGV battery options or contact SAFTEC to discuss your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an AGV battery manufacturer provide a sample before volume production?
Often, a prototype or sample is used to check fit and basic operation before a production order. Ask the supplier what the sample will represent, which tests it will undergo and what must be approved before the design is released for repeat manufacturing.
Can one battery design be used across several AGV models?
Possibly, if the vehicles share suitable electrical, mechanical and communication requirements. Even small differences in available space, peak current or connector position can require a separate configuration. Review each vehicle variant before treating a battery as interchangeable.
Can OEM buyers request their own branding and labels?
Many custom battery projects include agreed labels, part numbers or branding. Confirm the label content, ownership of the approved design and how revisions will be identified on later production batches.
What documents should a buyer request for an international AGV battery project?
Specify the destination market and intended application first. Then ask which drawings, test records, transport documents and product documents the supplier can provide for the exact battery configuration being quoted. Requirements may differ by design and destination.
