What are Custom Battery Packs?
Manufactured battery cells are available in specific voltages and capacities, which are fixed. If your intended use case or application has specific power requirements that cannot be met by a standard battery, bespoke batteries are the ideal solution.
Custom battery pack assemblers have the freedom and the skill to choose the number of cells, the types of batteries, the shape and size of the pack, and the various other components to ensure it meets the requirements of your business.
The customisation process also considers things like storage, longevity, and transport, and manufacturers will take all these things into account when designing and preparing the custom pack.
The Advantage of Bespoke Batteries and Custom Battery Packs UK
If you’re looking for batteries or cells with a specific use case in mind, bespoke batteries could be the way forward. After all, they offer many benefits, including:
Improved performance
One of the things that most companies find when they switch to bespoke batteries is that the performance of their applications improves. This is because the battery pack is tailored to the specific requirements of the application, no matter what it is.
You will typically see improved runtime, greater efficiency, and better reliability when you switch to bespoke batteries for your applications, so it’s worth considering.
Cost savings
Although the initial cost of a custom battery pack is likely to be higher than buying standard manufactured batteries, you will likely see long-term financial savings. This is primarily due to the fact that you won’t need to seek replacements as often.
You will probably also see an improvement in the efficiency of the device or application, which, in turn, will require less maintenance. All of these things contribute cost savings, even if you have to pay a little more for the bespoke batteries in the first instance.
Improved safety
Many of our customers find that investing in a custom battery pack in the UK leads to improved safety. This is because we can tailor thesafety features within the pack to suit the needs of the device.
For instance, we can include overcharge protection and temperature monitoring. We can also build in short circuit prevention for greater performance and security. Depending on the nature of the custom battery pack, it will likely be much safer to use than a standard cell.
The Process of Creating Bespoke Batteries in the UK
At AceOn, we have decades of experience in manufacturing bespoke batteries. We have been working on custom battery pack assembly since the mid-1990s and have an extensive customer base in the UK and beyond. While every battery pack that we manufacture is slightly different, our process incorporates the following key elements:
Pack requirements
We begin with an assessment of the intended use case and the specifications of our clients. We look at the power requirements of the device and consider things like voltage needs, capacity requirements, and discharge rate. We also gather information on the operating environment of the device to ensure our custom pack will be suitable.
Chemistry and cells
A crucial element of any custom battery pack is the cells, which are typically selected by our engineers. We offer various chemistries, but our packs usually consist of Lithium-ion, Lithium polymer, and Nickel-metal hydride chemistries. After deciding on the ideal chemistry, we consider the configuration of the cells, including the number, spacing, and balancing of the circuits within the pack.
Design and BMS
Next, we get to work on the design and layout of the pack. This includes the physical constraints, thermal management properties, and other features. We also include a Battery Management System (BMS), which monitors cell voltages and temperatures and offers protection against issues like over-discharge and short circuits.
Testing and quality control
After assembling bespoke battery packs, we test the device to see if it will safely serve its intended purpose. We perform cycle life testing and performance testing under various conditions to ensure the custom pack works well. After the prototyping phase, we move to production and implement stringent quality control procedures to guarantee that every pack we manufacture is consistent, reliable, and safe.
