Audit the package
Review drawings, BOM, firmware, work instructions, test methods, labels, packaging, and revision status for production gaps.

Build-to-Print Battery Packs
Production sourcing for OEMs that already own drawings, a bill of materials, firmware requirements, and acceptance criteria.
What is a build-to-print battery pack program?
A build-to-print battery program uses the customer's approved drawings, bill of materials, firmware, labels, test methods, and acceptance criteria as the production baseline. LBC reviews the package for manufacturability and sourcing risk, then coordinates a qualified production path with formal control of deviations, substitutions, and changes.
Catalog reference-design programs begin at 10 units and custom programs begin at 25 units. LBC does not quote individual retail battery orders.
Who this battery program is for
- OEM-owned battery designs moving to a new source
- Second-source and business-continuity programs
- Mature packs with controlled drawings and acceptance tests
- Buyers that require formal deviation and change approval
What the program should deliver
- Design-package completeness and manufacturability review
- Approved bill of materials and substitution boundaries
- First-article, pilot, inspection, and functional-test plan
- Deviation, revision, and engineering-change workflow
How the program works
Qualify the build path
Confirm component sources, equipment, process capability, quality controls, capacity, and required documentation with the selected partner.
Release under revision control
Approve first articles or a pilot, close findings, and issue the controlled package for repeat production with change authorization.
Frequently asked questions
Does build-to-print mean no engineering review is needed?
No. The approved design remains the baseline, but a manufacturability, sourcing, safety, and documentation review is still needed before a responsible production commitment.
Can a production partner substitute an unavailable cell?
Only under the program's approved substitution and change process. A cell change can affect electrical, thermal, lifecycle, mechanical, safety, shipping, and certification performance.
Who owns the battery design in a build-to-print program?
Ownership depends on the customer's documents and agreements. LBC can work under an NDA and use the design only within the agreed sourcing and production scope.
Can build-to-print support a second source?
Yes. It is often used to establish an alternate source, but the new partner, materials, process, and resulting pack still require an appropriate qualification and approval plan.
