Why are custom-designed lithium batteries necessary? Why are standard solutions insufficient?

Lithium batteries are used today in a very wide range of applications, from forklifts and energy storage systems to military applications and autonomous vehicles. However, standard lithium battery solutions are not sufficient for every application. This is where custom-designed lithium battery systems come into play.

So why are companies turning to project-based battery solutions instead of standard products?

Limitations of Standard Lithium Batteries

Commercially available battery packs typically:

Have fixed dimensions

Offer standard voltage and capacity values

Use a general-purpose BMS (Battery Management System)

This design leads to serious problems in the following cases:

Physical incompatibility with the device casing

Insufficient discharge current

Lack of communication (CANBus, etc.)

Overheating or premature cell aging

Result: Inefficient system, short lifespan, and high operating costs.

What is a custom-designed lithium battery?

Custom-designed lithium batteries are battery systems designed from scratch according to the electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements of an application.

This design includes:

Cell chemistry (LFP, NMC, Na-Ion)

Serial/parallel configuration

Chassis dimensions

BMS hardware and software

Protection and communication infrastructure

all determined specifically for the project.

Which applications require custom-designed batteries?

Custom design solutions are becoming essential, especially in the following areas:

AGV/AMR and autonomous vehicles

Forklifts and industrial machinery

Energy storage systems (ESS/BESS)

Military and defense industry applications

Marine and mobile power systems

Custom-made machinery and robotic systems

In these systems, the battery is not just an energy source, but the key component that determines the safety and performance of the entire system.

Why is BMS Critical in Custom Design?

Standard BMSs generally:

Have fixed current and voltage thresholds

Offer limited communication

Lack of application-specific software flexibility.

In contrast, custom-designed batteries:

Current limits are adjusted according to the application

Cell temperature thresholds are redefined

CANBus, RS485, or custom protocols are added

Remote monitoring and data logging are provided

This results in a longer battery life, greater safety, and better traceability.

Advantages of Custom-Designed Batteries

• Maximum energy efficiency

• Long cycle life

• 100% mechanical compatibility with the device

• High security

• Full system integration

• Remote monitoring and control

These advantages, especially in industrial projects, directly translate into cost reduction.

The Right Battery = A Reliable System

While standard batteries may seem convenient in the short term, they present a risk of efficiency loss and failure in the long run.

If:

Your system is specialized

You expect high performance

Security and traceability are important

Custom-designed lithium batteries are no longer a preference, but a necessity.
