Cell and pack selection
Compare mission energy, peak propulsion current and mass. Review cell operating limits separately from assembled-pack current, wiring and protection limits.
Applications / Equipment duty
Custom battery packs for professional UAVs.
Custom Li-ion pouch battery packs for professional UAVs. Define mission energy, peak propulsion demand, mass, aircraft interfaces and field charging around the complete flight profile.
Build the battery around the complete flight mission.
Endurance is developed from takeoff, climb, cruise, payload work, reserve and landing. The battery must also fit the aircraft, charging workflow and field operating model.
Define the UAV pack and its integration scope.
Develop a pack from documented cell and assembly references, with aircraft interfaces, charging limits and sample checks agreed for the mission.
Protection and charging
Agree the protection approach, monitoring functions, balance connection and charger voltage. Define charge limits and the signals required by the aircraft.
Aircraft integration
Specify the envelope, mass, retention, connectors, cable routing and cooling. Include field swap access and the aircraft power and telemetry interfaces.
Sample acceptance
Agree battery-terminal checks for mission energy, loaded voltage, repeated peaks and temperature. Define the drawings, sample report and applicable transport documents in the delivery scope.
Compare documented UAV battery references.
Compare UAV battery reference configurations. Mission energy, peak current, mass and charging requirements determine the final specification.

Engineering questions to resolve
Mission energy
How much usable energy does each flight phase require?
Map propulsion load, payload, reserve, usable depth of discharge and expected ambient conditions.
- Inputs
- Battery-terminal power versus mission time, payload, flight phases, reserve and ambient conditions.
- Decision output
- Required delivered Wh at the service condition, with takeoff and end-of-mission power checked separately.
Peak power
What happens during takeoff, climb and repeated maneuvering?
Review current demand, voltage response, temperature rise and the time between peak events.
- Inputs
- Synchronized voltage/current during the demanding flight phases and propulsion-controller limits.
- Decision output
- A loaded-voltage and thermal acceptance envelope for repeated peaks, separate from a printed C-rating.
Aircraft integration
Where do mass, retention, cooling and current paths meet?
Develop the pack envelope, center-of-gravity position, connector, fixation and swap path together.
- Inputs
- Pack mass and envelope, retention loads, connector and cable arrangement, telemetry and cooling.
- Decision output
- A mechanical and electrical interface definition with inspection and flight-critical verification requirements.
Field operation
How will packs move through charging, inspection and service?
Align chargers, pack rotation, storage, transport and condition checks with the operating team.
- Inputs
- Charging power and time, storage conditions, handling, transport mode and fleet rotation.
- Decision output
- Charge limits, turnaround plan, handling procedure and the applicable transport evidence.
Choose the stage of your UAV battery project.
Compare cells, develop the aircraft battery pack, or manufacture an approved design to the agreed inspection and order requirements.
Feasibility & Cell Validation
Use when cell format, delivered performance or the first aerial architecture still needs comparison.
Engineered Battery System
Use when the aircraft needs an integrated pack, protection, charging, mechanics and system interfaces.
Production & Lifecycle
Use when the approved aerial battery must move into pilot builds, repeat orders and ongoing support.
Specify your UAV battery requirement.
Share flight-phase power or current, payload, reserve, voltage window, mass limit, available envelope and charging method. Include aircraft interfaces, prototype and production quantities, and sample acceptance requirements.
Prepare this application briefDiscuss your battery requirements.
Include your equipment, battery requirements and quantities. Add an existing drawing or configuration reference where available.
