Which battery technology is used?
BITO relies on lithium batteries (LiFePO4)
The selected battery technology is characterised by high energy density, thermal and chemical stability and long life. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, the significantly higher fire safety is particularly noteworthy.
In addition, the lithium iron phosphate battery can be stored for longer periods without intermediate charging. This makes it easier to stock spare parts and reduces the likelihood of deep discharge.
Compared to conventional lead-acid technology, the many times greater lifetime performance outweighs the initial extra cost, resulting in a much better price/performance ratio.

LEO Charging Technology
The BITO LEO AGV system can be charged in three different ways
The most efficient charging technique for the system is manual battery replacement. This involves removing the battery from the vehicle and replacing it with a freshly charged battery. The battery is then charged for 4-6 hours on the charger.
The vehicle is ready for use within minutes, resulting in high efficiency.
For daily use of 12-16 hours, direct charging of the transporter is recommended. The charger is connected directly to the LEO transporter's charging socket.
After 4-6 hours the vehicle is ready for use again.
Ideal for 24-hour applications where an automated process is required.
This optional retrofit system allows the lithium batteries to be charged automatically. The LEO Transporter is equipped with a charging skid. After 120 to 180 minutes, a separate charger is started and charges for approximately 30 minutes.
