Introduction: Off-the-Shelf Isn’t Always Enough
For many B2B buyers—whether you’re building industrial sensors, handheld medical devices, electric mobility systems, or UAV platforms—standard lithium-ion battery packs often fall short. They may be the wrong size, too heavy, lack the necessary protection circuitry, or simply can’t meet performance demands in harsh environments.
At Himax, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom lithium-ion battery packs tailored to your voltage, capacity, discharge rate, and mechanical requirements. This guide explains why customization matters and how to approach it.
The Limitations of Standard Battery Packs
· Fixed Sizes & Shapes: You must design your product around the battery, not the other way around.
· Insufficient Discharge Rates: Many stock packs can’t handle high current demands or peak loads.
· Shorter Lifespan: Generic cells often underperform over time or under temperature extremes.
· Lack of Compliance: CE, RoHS, UN38.3 certifications may not be available or suitable for international shipping.
Why Custom Battery Packs Make Sense for B2B Buyers
1. Perfect Fit for Your Product
We adjust dimensions, cell arrangement, and connectors to fit your enclosure or mounting needs. Compact? Cylindrical? Flexible? No problem.
2. Optimized Performance
Choose your ideal capacity (mAh), voltage (3.7V–48V), C-rating, and cycle life to match your real-world operating profile.
3. Enhanced Safety & Certifications
We offer smart BMS with protections against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and temperature extremes. All packs can come with CE, RoHS, and UN38.3 documentation.
4. Supply Chain Stability
Himax supports low-volume prototyping and seamless transition to volume manufacturing with stable cell sourcing and batch traceability.
Applications that Benefit Most from Custom Packs
| Industry | Application | Typical Voltage | Common Needs |
| Medical Devices | Portable monitors, infusion pumps | 7.4V – 11.1V | Compact size, IEC 60601-safe |
| Industrial IoT | Sensor hubs, remote nodes | 3.7V – 12V | Long cycle life, temp tolerance |
| E-Mobility | E-bikes, scooters, smart helmets | 36V – 48V | High current, shock resistance |
| Drones & Robotics | Survey drones, AGVs, robotic arms | 11.1V – 44.4V | Lightweight, fast discharge |
| Security & Defense | Bodycams, comms, night vision units | 7.4V – 14.8V | Low IR, stealth design |
The Customization Process at Himax
- Consultation: You send specs, samples, or drawings
- Proposal: We suggest cell types, configuration, and protection
- Prototyping: 3–10 working days for sample delivery
- Testing & Feedback: Client testing + Himax suggestions
- Mass Production: ISO-controlled production lines with traceability
Certifications & Compliance
All Himax custom battery packs can be delivered with:
· UN38.3 test reports for international shipping
· CE / RoHS for European markets
· MSDS / IEC compliance as needed
· Custom labels and barcodes for end product integration
Case Study: From Concept to Market
A European agricultural drone startup needed a 12S 44.4V lithium pack with 20Ah capacity that could operate in high humidity and low-temperature environments. Himax engineered a smart BMS solution with conformal coating, IP67 housing, and over 600 charge cycles. The startup launched their drone 2 months ahead of schedule thanks to our sample speed and consistent supply.
