24V AGV & AMR Battery Packs (24V, 25.6V and 25.9V)

What does "24V" mean for an AGV battery?

"24V" is a class, not one voltage. Your motor controller accepts a voltage window, and three pack families sit inside the 24V class:

• 25.6V LiFePO4 (LFP). Eight LFP cells in series at 3.2V nominal. Full charge is 29.2V (3.65V per cell). This is the usual choice for multi-shift warehouse fleets because of cycle life and thermal stability.
• 24V-labeled NMC. Lighter for the same energy, so it suits compact AMRs and service robots where weight and volume are the tighter limit. The exact series count and charge voltage are confirmed against the datasheet in design review.
• 25.9V. A higher nominal value inside the same class. LBC lists a 25.9V 100Ah design (LBC25.9100) for long-shift vehicles.

Confirm the controller's minimum and maximum voltage before you pick a chemistry. A pack that is "24V" on paper can still sit outside your controller's cut-off window at full charge or near empty.

Catalog values from each product page. Final electrical, mechanical and BMS requirements are confirmed in design review. Catalog programs from 10 units; custom from 25.

How do you size a 24V AGV battery?

Start from energy per shift, then check current, then check charging.

1. Energy. Multiply the vehicle's average power draw by the hours it must run between charges. Add margin for the depth of discharge you are willing to use, for ageing over the pack's life, and for cold aisles. Divide by the nominal voltage to get amp-hours.
2. Current. Average power understates what the pack sees. Acceleration, lifting and ramps create peaks. Check continuous, peak and regenerative current against the BMS limits, the fusing and the connector rating, not only against Ah.
3. Charging. Opportunity charging at docks or during breaks lets a smaller pack cover a full shift, but only if the charger power, the dock contacts and the BMS charge-current limit line up.

A worked example with real catalog SKUs is in our guide How to size a 24V AGV battery.

Which BMS and communications should a 24V AGV pack have?

Every LBC pack ships with a matched battery management system. For AGVs and AMRs, specify early:

• Protocol. CANbus (including CANopen), RS485 or SMBus options are reviewed per design, so the BMS reports state of charge, current limits and faults to your vehicle controller and fleet software.
• Charge and discharge limits. Regenerative braking current counts against the charge limit, especially near full charge.
• Fault behavior. Decide what the robot does on an over-current or over-temperature warning (slow down, park or stop) so the pack never simply cuts out mid-aisle.

See battery management systems for custom packs.

Which charger matches a 24V AGV pack?

Match the charger to the pack's series count and BMS limits:

• 25.6V LFP packs (8S, 29.2V full charge): for example the Rugged Core LFP 8S 29.2V 7A, Fleet Core LFP 8S 29.2V 14A, Heavy-Duty Core LFP 8S 29.2V 21A and Industrial Core LFP 8S 29.2V 28A.
• 7S NMC packs (29.4V full charge): for example the Fleet Core NMC 7S 29.4V 12A and Heavy-Duty Core NMC 7S 29.4V 21A.

Can LBC replace an existing 24V AGV battery supplier?

Yes. Send the current pack drawing, cell chemistry, voltage window, connector and BMS protocol. LBC reviews fit, form and communications against the existing pack and quotes a drop-in or near-drop-in design. Start with the OEM battery cross-reference.

What to send for a 24V AGV battery quote

Voltage window, continuous and peak current, regenerative current, runtime per shift, charging method (opportunity, swap or overnight), available envelope, BMS protocol, operating temperature, first-order quantity and annual forecast. Catalog programs start at 10 units; custom designs at 25. Lead times run from weeks to months and are confirmed in the quote.
