BITO uses lithium batteries (LiFePO4).
Lithium batteries are characterised by a high energy storage density (ESD), thermal and chemical stability and a long service life. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, lithium batteries have a significantly lower fire risk.
In addition, lithium iron phosphate batteries can be stored for a longer period of time without intermediate re-charging. This facilitates spare parts storage and reduces the likelihood of batteries going into a deep discharge state.
Compared to conventional lead acid batteries, lithium batteries have a longer lifetime and increased performance. This outweighs the initially higher cost and provides a significantly higher price-performance ratio.

LEO Charging options
There are 3 different ways to charge LEO AGVs
Manual battery exchange
The most efficient way to ensure continuous operation is to manually swap batteries. Simply remove the battery from the transporter and substitute it by a freshly charged battery. Connect the empty battery to the charger for 4-6 hours.
In this way, the AGV is ready for use again within a few minutes. There is no interruption in your operations, hence no loss in performance.
Direct AGV loading
For a daily operation of 12-16 hours, we recommend direct charging. Connect the charger to the charging port of the LEO transporter.
After 4-6 hours, LEO is ready for use again
Automatic charging*
Ideal for 24-hour applications in an automated process.
This optional, add-on system allows automatic charging of lithium batteries. For this purpose, a charging rail will be fitted to the LEO transporter. After 120 to 180 minutes of operation, the AGV automatically moves to a charging station for about 30 minutes.
