Battery Maintenance for Mobile Robots
Battery care is the difference between a two-year and a five-year fleet.
What to manage
| Item | Practice |
|---|---|
| Charging routine | Avoid deep discharge; opportunity charging where supported |
| Temperature | Charge within the specified range |
| Storage | Partial charge for long idle periods |
| Health checks | Track capacity fade over time |
| Replacement | Plan for end-of-life and disposal |
Fleet-level points
- Charging station capacity decides fleet availability more than battery size.
- A single degraded battery can distort fleet scheduling.
- Keep a record of each pack's cycles and health.
Follow the manufacturer's charging and storage instructions for your battery chemistry.
