Designed to address the industry’s most pressing concerns around range anxiety and charging infrastructure, the Si1.5 features an ingenious swappable design that allows users to instantly swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one, eliminating the downtime for recharging. Another feature that sets the Si1.5 apart is the battery’s brand-agnostic standard interface, which lets users swap power between brands and applications. The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) safely optimizes performance and longevity. Offering high power and great cycle life in a compact, durable package, the Si1.5 unlocks application potential across industries.

The BMS helps ensure safe operations by constantly measuring voltage and temperature.

48V 5kWh* Commercial Battery (Fi5.0)
The Vanguard 48V 5kWh* Commercial Battery (Fi5.0) features a diecast aluminum enclosure that provides protection and durability for the internal Cell Module Assembly (CMA) units. Designed to deliver a 2,000-cycle lifespan with virtually no scheduled maintenance, the 5kWh* Commercial Battery can be seamlessly integrated and serviced while operators receive instant power for the tasks at hand. This is a total modular solution that OEMs and operators can count on.

48V 7kWh* Commercial Battery (Fi7.0)
The 48V 7kWh* Commercial Battery Pack (Fi7.0) answers OEMs’ requests for a flexible battery solution that can be utilized in a wider variety of applications, including turf, golf and recreation.

The battery can be fully charged in less than eight hours and has a charging temperature range of -10°C to 45°C.

Designed, engineered and assembled in the United States, Vanguard battery products are backed by the robust Briggs & Stratton service network.
