R&D Pillars

  • Cell & Pack Engineering: Grade A cell qualification, module topology, protection design, and pack optimization.
  • BMS & Firmware: Safety thresholds, SOC/SOH algorithms, CAN/RS485 protocols, event logging, and OTA-ready firmware (model dependent).
  • Thermal & Mechanical: Heat path analysis, enclosure design, ingress protection targets, and vibration resilience.
  • EMC & Compliance: Design-for-certification tactics aligned to UL, CE, UN38.3, RoHS, FCC.
  • Reliability & Safety: Cycle life studies, storage aging, environmental stress, and abuse tests.

Our Development Process

  1. Concept & Requirements: Define application, power/energy targets, and compliance scope.
  2. Model & Simulate: Electrical/thermal simulations to size cells, busbars, protections, and cooling paths.
  3. Prototype: EVT/DVT builds with fixture-based validation and BMS tuning.
  4. Validate: Functional, performance, environmental, and safety testing; DFMEA/PFMEA updates.
  5. Certify: Prepare test samples and documentation for notified bodies; iterate as needed.
  6. Pilot & Ramp: MES traceability, SOPs, and line qualification before mass production.

Achievements & Collaboration

  • Deployed LiFePO4 storage packs for solar, communications backup, logistics equipment, and auxiliary EV applications.
  • 12+ patents and recognized as a National High and New Technology Enterprise (2022).
  • Joint development with partners for protocol adaptation, enclosure customization, and certification support.

R&D Testing & Facilities

  • Performance: Capacity at rated C-rate, DCIR, efficiency, and balancing validation.
  • Safety & Abuse: Short-circuit, nail penetration, squeeze/impact, and drop tests.
  • Environmental: High/low temperature, humidity, vibration, and storage aging.
  • BMS Verification: Protection thresholds, comms stability (CAN/RS485), diagnostics, and firmware stress tests.
