How to choose your energy storage system for a robotic application?

To choose your battery, you must take into account several elements to define your need for a battery pack:

- The capacity, of course,

- The voltage, depending on the applications - for robotics, you have to switch to 24 or 48 V because the power requirements for the motors in particular are higher.

- The volume.

- The power: for the lithium battery, you must take into account the BMS - battery management system, the electronic part of the battery that ensures its duration.

The other key element is the choice of technology: there are many, from the oldest (lead acid batteries, heavy and small capacity) to the most recent, such as lithium polymer.
