Automated vehicles used in warehouses rely on batteries that require recharging or replacement, which can impact the vehicle's availability. This paper proposes a method to estimate battery state of charge to better manage recharging and ensure batteries have enough charge to complete tasks. Experiments using mini-robotic forklifts evaluated the method by comparing estimated consumption to measured state of charge, demonstrating effectiveness when using resistive loads. The methodology allows estimating battery use for routes and verifying capacity to accomplish assigned tasks.
