General Design and Application Criteria 

Choose the best suitable battery from our range of  ASB batteries according to your needs relating to 

the specific application and its corresponding planned operation conditions: 

The most important criteria for the type-selection are these: 

► 

Required minimum operating time 

► 

Charging rates required vs. calendar life target 

► 

Max. and average current drain 

► 

Min. and max. voltage of operation 

► 

Operating temperature range 

► 

Mechanical properties 

► 

Available space 

► 

Environmental conditions 

All  ASB  batteries  are  equipped  with  our  specially  selected  and  carefully  designed  safety  electronic 

modules  (BMS)  which  prevent  the  risks  of  hazards  due  to  any  foreseeable  abuse  /  misuse. 

Nevertheless, it is required that any application is designed so that the battery may operate within its 

normal specification without the safety features being triggered by end-user behavior. 

3.3 

Features 

VARTA  Storage  ASB  batteries  are  first  choice  for  a  number  of  modern  high-tech  products  in  fields 

such as robotics, Automated Guided  Vehicles (AGV), related Logistics and  Agricultural solutions and 

more. They provide long lasting, reliable main power, occupying a minimum of space and weight in the 

corresponding devices. 

VARTA  Storage  ASB  batteries  fulfill  the  most  important  design-in  requirements:  Reliable  high-power 

output, design flexibility with minimized space requirements and a long life.
