LBC / Custom Drone & UAV
LBC designs custom drone and UAV lithium battery packs for OEM aircraft programs. We review power demand, runtime, mass, available space, BMS telemetry, connectors and charging as one integration brief. Catalog reference designs start at 10 units and custom programs at 25. Lead times run from weeks to months, confirmed in the quote.
Why choose LBC for custom drone & uav battery packs?
Peak propulsion load and runtime
Describe propulsion peaks and flight runtime so pack output matches the aircraft load.
Mass, dimensions and connector requirements
Match pack mass, envelope and power connectors to the aircraft integration.
Charge profile and battery monitoring
Coordinate charging limits and battery monitoring with the aircraft’s electrical interface.

High C-Rate Discharge
UAV motors demand 20C–50C peak discharge rates. We select and validate cells capable of sustained high-current discharge without thermal runaway.
Gravimetric Energy Density
Every gram matters in UAV design. We optimize cell selection and pack construction to maximize Wh/kg for your specific voltage and capacity requirements.
Smart BMS with Telemetry
Our UAV BMS provides real-time cell voltage, temperature, current, and state-of-charge data via CAN bus, UART, or SMBus for integration with flight controllers.
Rapid Field Replacement
We design UAV packs for fast field swaps — quick-release connectors, color-coded polarity, and rugged housings that survive repeated handling in operational environments.
Program-Specific Source Review
For defense UAV programs, LBC evaluates source restrictions, the proposed bill of materials, production path, and required documentation before making a compliance commitment.
Custom Form Factors
We design packs to fit your airframe — not the other way around. Custom dimensions, connector types, mounting provisions, and weight distribution.
Design Your UAV Battery Pack
Share your airframe specs, flight time requirements, and payload. Our engineers will design a battery pack optimized for your UAV program.
Start UAV Battery Design →Custom Drone & UAV battery pack FAQ
How does a custom drone battery program move from brief to prototype?
LBC reviews the aircraft electrical and mechanical brief, proposes a pack architecture, confirms cells/BMS/connectors, then releases a prototype build plan against the approved scope. Schedule is quoted after BOM and validation scope are clear—not before.
Can LBC match an existing drone battery footprint and connector?
Yes. Send the legacy pack dimensions, mounting points, connector and pinout, charger and any BMS messaging the airframe already expects. Form-factor and interface matching is a standard custom-program path when drawings are available.
What limits peak discharge on a multirotor or VTOL pack?
Peak discharge is set by cell rating, BMS over-current limits, wiring/connectors, temperature and the aircraft’s propulsion duty. Provide burst duration and repetition rate; LBC sizes continuous vs burst capability so the pack does not trip mid-maneuver under the stated profile.
Do custom UAV packs include charging and ground-support constraints?
Charging current, charge temperature window, ground-power connectors and any balancing or storage rules are part of the pack definition. Bring the intended charger or ground station interface into the RFQ so the BMS charge path is designed with the aircraft, not as an afterthought.
