02Project path

Six stages, and what each side brings

The same path for battery packs, chargers and PCB-only projects. Small quantities are accepted at every stage.

  1. 01

    Requirements

    Tell us what the pack or charger has to power and where it has to fit.

    We do

    • Our in-house engineering team reviews your device and how it is used.
    • We list what is needed to start the design and help you fill the gaps.
    • We tell you which certification documents exist for certified models, on request.

    You provide

    • The device or application
    • Voltage and capacity, or the runtime you need
    • Size limits and the connector or contacts
    • Whether you also need a charger
    • Quantity stage: prototype, pilot run or production
    • Unknown values are fine. We work them out with you.
  2. 02

    Circuit design

    We design the battery PCB (protection circuit) and the charger PCB in-house.

    We do

    • Battery PCB with three levels of protection: Japanese protection IC + MOSFET (1st and 3rd), PTC (2nd).
    • Protection IC for over-charge, over-discharge and over-current.
    • Fuel gauge (gas gauge) for smart batteries when your device needs it.
    • Charger PCB designed to match your pack.

    You provide

    • Charge and discharge needs of your device
    • Connector pin-out or contact layout
    • Whether the battery must report its charge level (fuel gauge)
    • Standards your market requires
  3. 03

    Prototype

    We build prototype packs and chargers so you can check fit and function in your device.

    We do

    • Prototype packs and chargers built in our own production.
    • Small quantities accepted, so samples and pilot runs are possible.
    • Design changes made after your feedback, with quick, flexible production.

    You provide

    • Fit and function results from your device
    • Changes you need before validation
  4. 04

    Battery Lab validation

    Our in-house Battery Lab has equipment for the UN 38.3 test items T1 to T8, plus an explosion-proof test chamber.

    We do

    • T1Altitude simulation
    • T2Thermal
    • T3Vibration
    • T4Shock
    • T5External short circuit
    • T6Crush / impact
    • T7Overcharge
    • T8Forced discharge

    You provide

    • The markets you sell into
    • The standards or documents your customers ask for
  5. 05

    Production

    Products are manufactured under ISO 9001, and every product carries a printed traceability code.

    We do

    • Incoming materials and cells are tested before production.
    • Manufacturing under ISO 9001.
    • A printed code on every product records who built it, which process step and the date code.
    • Small-quantity and flexible production.

    You provide

    • Approved sample and final specification
    • Order quantity and delivery schedule
    • Label or marking requirements
  6. 06

    QC report & shipping

    Every battery pack is tested, and a QC test report ships with every shipment.

    We do

    • Every battery pack tested before packing.
    • QC test report included in every shipment.
    • Packed to SOP in export cartons.
    • Express shipping to the US and Europe by UPS or FedEx.

    You provide

    • Ship-to address
    • Preferred carrier: UPS or FedEx

03Circuit design

Battery PCB and charger PCB, designed in-house

We design the protection circuit inside the pack and the charger PCB that charges it.

Lithium-ion cell circuit with three-level protection: a PTC on the P+ line (2nd protection); on the P− line a Japan IC with over-charge, over-discharge and over-current protection driving a MOSFET (1st protection), then a second Japan IC with over-charge protection driving a MOSFET (3rd protection). Lithium Ion Cell Circuit 2nd protection 1st protection 3rd protection Li-ion Battery PTC P+ Japan IC Over charge protect Over discharge protect Over current protect MOSFET Japan IC Over charge protect MOSFET P− OUTPUT 1 2 3

Three levels of protection

Point to a level to find it on the drawing.

  1. 11st protectionProtection IC + MOSFET. A Japanese protection IC checks for over-charge, over-discharge and over-current, and controls a MOSFET on the P− line.
  2. 22nd protectionPTC. A PTC sits in series on the P+ output line as a separate, second level of protection.
  3. 33rd protectionSecond protection IC + MOSFET. A second Japanese protection IC adds its own over-charge protection, with its own MOSFET on the P− line.

Charger PCB

Designed together with the pack, for single-bay, dual-bay, 4-bay, 6-bay and multi-bay chargers. See charger types.

Smart batteries

Add a fuel gauge (gas gauge) when the battery has to report its charge level. See smart batteries.
