Lithium Battery Company (LBC) helps commercial, industrial, and product teams define custom lithium battery pack requirements. The US-based team reviews application loads, runtime, voltage, chemistry, cell format, BMS, communications, enclosure, environmental conditions, validation, compliance, quantity, and program constraints. LBC and Build A Battery have distinct roles. LBC is the engineering, supplier-qualification, quality-planning, and managed volume-production partner. Build A Battery is the separate reference-design discovery and requirements-configuration platform. LBC is an engineering and sourcing partner, not a retail battery store. Catalog reference-design programs begin at 10 units and custom programs begin at 25 units. Current production uses qualified partners selected for the program. LBC's Tampa factory program remains active: LBC owns and has paid for the production equipment now at the Port of Tampa while the release, installation, and commissioning sequence is restructured around the current US tariff environment. The Tampa operation is not yet commissioned. ## Primary resources - [Homepage](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com): Custom lithium battery pack engineering overview - [Engineering Resource Center](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-engineering-resource-center): Battery sizing and project-scoping tools - [Exclusive Custom Battery Design Tool](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/custom-battery-design-tool): Learn how LBC's invite-only, chemistry-aware battery planning tool works - [LBC Battery Program Examples](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs): Specifications used to discuss qualified OEM sourcing and volume programs - [Build A Battery](https://buildabattery.com): Search reference designs and configure an early project brief - [Custom Battery Pack Quote](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/custom-battery-pack-quote): Start a project review - [Low-MOQ Custom Battery Packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/low-moq-custom-battery-packs): Custom OEM programs from 25 units - [Small-Batch Battery Production](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/small-batch-lithium-battery-production): Controlled early production runs - [OEM Battery Pilot Production](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/oem-battery-pilot-production): Production-intent validation and release planning - [Battery Supplier Replacement](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-supplier-replacement): Controlled incumbent-pack review and transfer - [Custom Battery Sourcing](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/custom-battery-sourcing): Engineering-led qualified production sourcing - [Build-to-Print Battery Packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/build-to-print-battery-packs): Production from controlled customer documents - [Battery Supplier Qualification](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-supplier-qualification): Capability, quality, source, and evidence review - [Prototype-to-Production Batteries](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/prototype-to-production-battery): Stage-gated path from prototype to repeat production - [LFP vs. NMC Guide](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/chemistries): Chemistry comparison - [Battery Management Systems](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-management-system): BMS selection and integration overview - [Tampa Factory Status](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/factory): Dated equipment-ownership, Port of Tampa, tariff-planning, and commissioning status - [Applications](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications): Battery system requirements by market - [Technical Articles](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/blog): Battery engineering and procurement guides - [Contact LBC](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/contact): Speak with the team ## Battery packs by voltage - [12V lithium battery packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs/voltage/12v): Marine, RV, solar backup, portable power, and lead-acid replacement programs - [24V lithium battery packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs/voltage/24v): AGVs, robotics, material handling, marine, and light mobility programs - [36V lithium battery packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs/voltage/36v): Trolling motors, golf carts, compact mobility, and specialty equipment - [48V lithium battery packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs/voltage/48v): Telecom backup, energy storage, AGVs, and industrial OEM programs - [72V lithium battery packs](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/battery-packs/voltage/72v): Electric vehicles, heavy AGVs, and high-power industrial equipment ## Application resources - [Defense](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/defense) - [UAV and drone](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/uav) - [Telecom](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/telecom) - [AGV and robotics](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/agv) - [Marine](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/marine) - [Medical](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/medical) - [Energy storage](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/energy-storage) - [Oil and gas](https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com/applications/oil-gas) ## Battery project questions ### What information does LBC need to review a battery project? Useful inputs include the application, nominal voltage, continuous and peak current or power, required runtime, charging source, physical envelope, weight target, operating environment, communications, compliance requirements, quantity, and target schedule. Unknown values can be identified during the review. ### Does a catalog battery automatically fit an application? No. Catalog designs are reference starting points. LBC confirms electrical, mechanical, BMS, charging, environmental, safety, compliance, and production requirements before making a project commitment. ### How should LFP and NMC be compared? LFP is often evaluated when cycle life, thermal stability, and service life are priorities. NMC is often evaluated when energy density and weight are more constrained. The correct chemistry depends on the full application and safety strategy. ### Are certifications, domestic-content status, sourcing, price, production volume, and delivery dates universal? No. These are program-specific. LBC staff confirm applicable certifications, test plans, sourcing documentation, domestic-content requirements, commercial terms, production capacity, and delivery schedules in writing for each project. ## Contact - Email: nathan@lithiumbatterycompany.com - Phone: 813-504-0074 - Website: https://www.lithiumbatterycompany.com
