## Description

The **industrial machinery battery** covers diesel and electric equipment: **compressors** Atlas Copco, Kaeser, CompAir, Ingersoll Rand; **generators** Pramac, Honda, Kohler, Cummins, FG Wilson; **welders** Lincoln, Miller, ESAB, Telwin; **AGVs** (automated guided vehicles); stationary machinery.
Three families: **SHD 12V/24V** starter for diesel, **cyclic AGM** for AGV, **AGM HR / OPzV** for backup. Picking the right technology avoids unplanned production downtime from a failed start.

## Choose by equipment

The common mistake is fitting a car battery in a generator or compressor — standard SLI fails within months because of the mix of extreme cold starts and long stand-by periods. You need **reinforced SHD** with diesel-specific EN CCA.

### Table by equipment

Equipment Voltage Typical capacity Technology
Portable compressor Atlas Copco / Kaeser 12 V 100-180 Ah SHD HD
Generator 20-100 kVA 12 V 100-200 Ah SHD HD
Generator >100 kVA 24 V 180-225 Ah SHD
Engine-driven welder 12 V 74-110 Ah HD / SHD
AGV / industrial robot 24-48 V 100-300 Ah Cyclic AGM / Lithium

### Compatibility and how to choose

Voltage (12V or 24V), Ah capacity and EN CCA must match the equipment manufacturer's spec, never just "what was fitted before" without checking. Use the [comparator](/gb/comparator) to compare capacity, cold-cranking amps and price across SHD, cyclic AGM and OPzV references.

## Frequently asked questions about industrial machinery batteries

### **Why won't a normal car battery work in a generator or compressor?**

Standard SLI isn't built for the extreme cold starts or long stand-by periods typical of industrial machinery; without SHD reinforcement it fails within months.

### **What's the difference between SHD, cyclic AGM and OPzV?**

SHD is reinforced-start for diesel engines; cyclic AGM handles the repeated discharges of an AGV; AGM HR/OPzV is built for backup systems that sit on float for long periods.

### **Do I need 12V or 24V?**

It depends on the equipment: portable compressors and welders are usually 12V, while generators above 100 kVA run on 24V; always check the manufacturer's rating plate.

### **Is a cyclic AGM battery compatible with an electric AGV?**

Yes, it's the recommended technology for AGVs and industrial robots that discharge and recharge daily, alongside lithium solutions in newer installations.
