Agility Robotics Selects Nyobolt as its Ultra-Fast Charging Battery Technology Partner for Digit 5
SUMMARY
Agility Robotics announced on 15 October 2026 that Nyobolt is its technology provider for a new battery system. Agility says the technology powers one of the most significant upgrades in Digit 5, a fast-recharge battery system that lets Digit work more than 20 hours in a 24-hour day.
According to Agility, Digit 5 will have a new battery system with 90 minutes of runtime and a charge time of 9 minutes. That gives a run-to-charge ratio of 10:1, against 2:1 for Digit 4. Agility says this fast recharge is meant to support more than two shifts in a single day.
Agility describes Nyobolt's battery technology as built for demanding industrial conditions, combining fast charging, long cycle life and lower system weight. Nyobolt's co-founder and CEO, Sai Shivareddy, said the technology was chosen because Digit 5 will need more power from a smaller, lighter pack in environments where reliability is essential. Agility Chief Business Officer Daniel Diez called uptime the business case for Digit.
Agility expects early access to Digit 5 with Nyobolt's battery technology to begin in the first half of 2027, with availability increasing over the following six to nine months for manufacturing, warehouse and distribution operators. In the forward-looking statements and risk factors of its press release, Agility describes Nyobolt as the exclusive provider of battery technology for Digit 5.
