iVT Expo is a premier event for discovering the latest components and technologies shaping the future of construction, agriculture, mining, material handling and forestry vehicles. Vanguard will highlight its philosophy of moving beyond the “one-size-fits-all” approach and display a comprehensive range of battery packs designed for seamless integration.
“We are thrilled to return to iVT Expo to show OEMs how our advanced battery systems can help them navigate the path to electrification,” said David Frank, SVP & president of Electrification at Briggs & Stratton. “Our focus is on providing flexible and fully integrated power solutions durable enough to meet the specific needs of the off-highway industry. Our battery systems are built to withstand extreme conditions, offering the reliable performance and seamless integration partners need for their advanced equipment."
Innovative Power on Display
Attendees visiting the Vanguard booth can explore a robust lineup of commercial battery packs. Each pack is engineered for durability, safety and performance with features like diecast aluminum casings, advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) and dual CANbus communication. To complement its battery packs, Vanguard also offers other integrated system components, such as motor controllers, to provide a comprehensive power solution.
Products featured in the booth will include:
- Vanguard™ 1.5kWh1 (Si1.5) Commercial Battery: This innovative, swappable battery pack offers a standard charge time of just 75 minutes when used with compatible Vanguard chargers2, eliminating downtime. Its standard interface allows it to be easily exchanged between different equipment, offering unparalleled versatility on the jobsite.
- Vanguard 3.5kWh1 (Fi3.5) Commercial Battery: Designed to be easily integrated, the Fi3.5 is now available in both 24V and 48V configurations, simplifying the integration process for OEMs transitioning from lead-acid batteries.
- Vanguard 5kWh1 (Fi5.0) Commercial Battery: The Fi5.0 shares many of the same benefits found in the rest of the Vanguard battery lineup. This powerful battery provides OEMs and operators with a total solution. OEMs get easy integration with their equipment and components that are serviceable. Operators get instant, reliable power for their jobs.
- Vanguard 7kWh1 (Fi7.0) Commercial Battery: Answering OEM demand for greater flexibility, this battery is available in both long and tall configurations to suit a wider range of applications, from construction to industrial and recreation. It delivers more power in a compact footprint and can be scaled in parallel with other Fi7.0 packs to meet larger power needs.
