Full-System Lithium Battery Pack Design:
Cells, BMS, Housing, and Thermal Management

Cells are a commodity. The BMS, thermal management, protection circuitry, enclosure, and compliance pathway are where programs succeed or fail.

01

Battery Management System

Active/passive cell balancing, SOC/SOH estimation, CAN/SMBus/I2C communication, and multi-layer protection circuitry.

02

Thermal Management

Passive air, forced convection, liquid cold plate, immersion cooling, and PCM thermal buffering — matched to your operating environment.

03

Protection Circuitry

Fuse sizing, contactor selection, pre-charge circuits, GFDI for HV packs, and isolation monitoring for safety-critical applications.

04

Structural Engineering

IP-rated enclosures from ABS to anodized aluminum, MIL-STD-810 shock/vibe compliance, and pressure relief valve integration.

05

Performance Optimization

Cell grading and matching, busbar material selection, laser/spot-weld recommendations, and C-rate optimization per chemistry.

06

Compliance & Certification

UL 1642, UL 2054, IEC 62133, UN 38.3, CE, RoHS, REACH, DOT/IATA transport classification, and MIL-SPEC pathways.
