Insights
Symbotic's integration of Nyobolt's battery tech offers 6x energy capacity and 10x lifespan, significantly boosting robot performance and warehouse efficiency.
Symbotic's adoption of Nyobolt's battery technology represents a significant technical advancement for their warehouse automation systems. The new power solution delivers six times more energy capacity while being 40% lighter than current ultracapacitors, addressing two critical limitations in autonomous mobile robotics: energy density and weight.
The technical specifications are impressive from an engineering perspective. With 10x the cycle life of traditional lithium-ion batteries, these power units will substantially reduce maintenance frequency and replacement costs. The increased energy capacity transforms operational capabilities - enabling SymBots to perform more tasks between charges, operate in teleoperation mode longer, and travel greater distances autonomously.
What makes this particularly valuable for Symbotic's business model is the retrofit compatibility with existing systems. This allows current customers to upgrade their fleets without full system replacement, creating an immediate upgrade path while protecting previous investments. The backward compatibility with charging infrastructure further reduces implementation barriers.
For warehouse automation, these improvements translate directly to operational efficiencies. The enhanced energy capacity will enable more continuous operation in multi-bot environments, reducing bottlenecks caused by charging cycles and increasing throughput. The technology has already moved beyond testing, with limited production implementation since June 2025, indicating technical validation in real-world environments.
Symbotic's minor investment in Nyobolt suggests this may be part of a broader strategic partnership rather than just a vendor relationship, potentially giving Symbotic preferential access to future battery innovations. The technology represents a meaningful competitive advantage in the increasingly crowded warehouse automation sector, where system uptime and operational efficiency directly impact customer ROI calculations.
- Enhanced battery technology provides ultra-fast charging with six times more energy capacity than existing solution
- Transformational hardware can be retrofitted into existing systems at customer facilities
WILMINGTON, Mass. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, today announced it will roll out new battery technology from Nyobolt*, a pioneer of high-power, ultra-fast charging power solutions, for its SymBot™ autonomous mobile robots. The technology will enable improved performance and durability for Symbotic’s industry-leading warehouse automation system.
The new solution has six times more energy capacity and is 40 percent lighter, compared to the ultracapacitors used in SymBot mobile robots today. It significantly reduces the overall weight of the power supply and enhances the reliability of the system by increasing the bots’ window of operability. The technology also delivers unparalleled cycle life: at least 10 times that of traditional Lithium-ion technology.
The benefits are especially significant for larger, connected systems. With up to six times more energy, bots can do substantially more work, be teleoperated for longer, and travel significantly further between charges than is possible today, providing greater flexibility, speed and efficiency in moving goods through the supply chain.
“This innovation will help us push beyond the limits of today’s technology,” said James Kuffner, Chief Technology Officer at Symbotic. “Improvements in battery power unlock the future, enabling us to continue developing and deploying additional capabilities and new, advanced technologies that will make our bots smarter, more durable, and more productive. This is another step forward in our vision to reimagine the supply chain, and will further enhance the benefits of the Symbotic System for our customers.”
“As Symbotic continues to transform warehouse automation, we’re proud to power that revolution. Nyobolt’s high-performance batteries ensure Symbotic’s autonomous robots never stop moving,” said Sai Shivareddy, Founder and CEO at Nyobolt. “Together, we’re accelerating progress by optimizing 24/7 operations and setting a new standard for speed and efficiency while delivering long life cycles.”
Symbotic has been utilizing the technology in production on a limited basis since June 2025. It expects to start fully incorporating the batteries into new SymBot production in September 2025. The new power supply will be retrofit-compatible with previous-generation SymBot™ mobile robots, and the new battery technology is backward-compatible with existing Symbotic System charging infrastructure.
Symbotic is based near Boston, MA, and Nyobolt is headquartered in the UK, with its R&D located in the Boston area.
