When working with a battery pack manufacturer, sharing the right information early helps avoid repeated prototyping, shortens development time, and ensures a safe, reliable custom battery pack solution.
Here are the key points we usually ask for:
1. Voltage (Nominal & Working Range)
Tell us the nominal voltage and the operating voltage range of your device. This determines the cell configuration and ensures compatibility.
2. Capacity / Runtime
How long should the device run per charge? This defines the battery capacity and energy density design.
3. Continuous & Peak Discharge Current
Continuous current affects cell selection, busbar and cable design, connectors, and heat management.
Peak current and duration help ensure smooth startup without voltage drop or protection triggering.
4. Application & Environment
Where will the battery be used?
Robotics, marine, medical, UAV, energy storage, EV, etc.
Please also share:
5. Housing & Protection
Will the battery be standalone or installed inside equipment?
Do you need waterproofing or a specific IP rating?
Case type: plastic, metal, or heat-shrink.
6. Size & Weight Limits
Available installation space and weight target help us optimize the pack design.
7. BMS & Communication
Required protections and smart functions.
Communication options: CANBus, RS485, UART, Bluetooth, etc.
8. Connector, Branding & Certifications
Connector type, cable length, logo/labels, and required certifications (UN38.3, CE, UL, etc.).
