Autonomous test vehicles are equipped with high‑power components—LiDAR, industrial computers, cameras—that must run continuously for extended test sessions. If the onboard battery falls short, sensors can drop out and data can be lost, forcing a full test restart and wasting hours of R&D time and significant costs. Ordinary batteries simply cannot handle frequent deep discharges and tend to fail prematurely.
The VELA POWER AGM start-stop battery (exemplified by the DIN75 model) is purpose‑built for high-load, long-duration applications. It utilizes AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, which locks the electrolyte firmly into the separator—no free liquid, no leakage risk. Its fully sealed, maintenance‑free design eliminates the need for regular water refills, significantly reducing upkeep. Reinforced plates and tight assembly provide excellent vibration resistance, ensuring structural integrity even on rough test tracks. With stable deep‑cycle performance and anti‑sulfation properties, it recovers capacity quickly after repeated deep discharges. It endures heavy cycling, holds charge for days, and stands up to harsh road conditions—freeing test teams to focus on data rather than power concerns.
Q1: With all equipment running, how long can the VELA POWER AGM battery last?
A1: Extended operation is well within its capability. The reinforced plate design gives it more than three times the deep‑cycle life of ordinary batteries. Even after hours of continuous testing, LiDAR and industrial computers remain stable—no voltage sag, no disconnections.
Q2: If the test vehicle sits overnight or over the weekend, will the battery lose charge?
A2: No. The AGM battery features extremely low self‑discharge, retaining ample charge after days of inactivity. It starts right up on arrival—no delays, no jump‑starts required.
Q3: Can rough test tracks and vibration damage the battery?
A3: No. The tightly secured plates and absorbed electrolyte eliminate leakage risk. Speed bumps, gravel, uneven terrain—the internal structure stays solid and reliable.
In summary, the VELA POWER AGM battery is durable, charge‑retentive, and vibration‑resistant, enabling autonomous test vehicles to operate reliably around the clock. Test teams work with confidence: complete data runs, no lost sessions, no schedule delays.
