AMR, AGV & Intralogistics Automation calculator

AMR Battery Charge Capacity Calculator Calculator

Battery and charging capacity can become the hidden constraint in AMR and AGV fleets. This calculator estimates how many usable robot-hours the charging plan supports after charger uptime and battery-health assumptions are applied.

What this calculator does

  • Estimate available charged robot-hours from runtime per charge cycle, charge cycles, charger uptime, and battery health factor.
  • an automation engineer needs to confirm whether charging capacity supports planned robot runtime
  • Returns the robot-hours supported by the charging plan after charger uptime and battery derate are applied.

Formula used

  • Gross charged robot-hours = robot runtime per charge cycle × available charge cycles
  • Usable charged robot-hours = gross charged robot-hours × charger uptime × battery health or charge acceptance

Inputs explained

  • Robot runtime per charge cycle: undefined
  • Available charge cycles: undefined
  • Charger uptime: undefined
  • Battery health or charge acceptance: undefined

How to use the result

  • Use it for charger sizing, opportunity charging plans, shift coverage, battery replacement planning, and fleet availability checks.
  • Actual capacity depends on route energy use, payload, floor condition, charging dwell time, charger sharing, battery age, and software charging rules.

Common questions

  • What is a charge cycle in this calculator? Use one charging event or battery cycle that produces a known amount of robot runtime for the fleet planning period.
  • How should opportunity charging be entered? Convert short charge windows into equivalent charge cycles or supported robot-hours before entering them.
  • What does usable charged robot-hours mean? It estimates the robot runtime the charging system can support after charger downtime and battery derating.
  • How can I use this result? Compare usable robot-hours with mission runtime demand to decide whether chargers, battery swaps, or schedule changes are needed.
