DOC TCE-001 / CUSTOM BATTERY PROGRAMME

01 / ROUTES

Three routes to a custom battery.

Start with the shortest route that meets the specification. We will tell you which one fits after the engineering review.

ROUTE A

Configure

A standard TITAN pack, set up for your system.

The same tested cells, case and BMS hardware, with the firmware and options changed to suit: CANBUS or RS485 protocol, charge and discharge limits, heater logic, low standby drain, or the Bluetooth module removed.

Speed
Fastest route
Warranty
Lifetime, fully transferrable, as on the standard range
Suits
Vehicle builders, integrators, fleets

ROUTE B

Custom build

A pack designed around your enclosure and your load.

New dimensions, voltage, capacity, terminals, mounting, case material or insulation. We design the pack and the BMS programme, our partner factory hand-builds it to a TITAN spec sheet, and every unit passes end-pack QC in Cheltenham.

Speed
Programme set in the quotation
Warranty
Agreed per project and stated in the quotation
Suits
Research instruments, remote monitoring, specialist equipment

ROUTE C

Legacy replacement

Keep the equipment. Replace the battery.

When the original cell or pack is out of production, we match the footprint, connector and electrical behaviour, usually adding protection the original never had. Re-qualifying equipment around a new battery costs far more than matching the old one.

Programme set in the quotation
Warranty
Agreed per project and stated in the quotation
Suits
Defence and long-life industrial equipment

02 / CAPABILITY

The capability envelope.

What we have designed and shipped so far. If your requirement sits outside it, ask anyway.

Chemistry
LiFePO4 as standard. Other lithium chemistries for legacy matches.
Voltage
From a single 3.2V cell upwards. 12, 24 and 48V systems are typical.
Capacity
Any. Built so far: 3.2Ah cells to 520Ah packs.
Cold operation
Builds for -30°C sites, with internal heating and insulation. Heater logic can run from the charge source only, so it never drains the pack.
Standby
Ultra-low self-discharge programmes for equipment left unattended for months.
BMS
Custom BMS designed by TITAN. Limits, protection and balancing set per application. Dual-BMS redundancy available.
Comms
CANBUS, RS485 and NMEA 2000. Custom protocol tables for Victron and bespoke monitoring systems.
Radio
Bluetooth as standard, or physically removed for radio-restricted sites.
Mechanical
Custom shells, metal cases, internal insulation, terminals and mounting to your drawing.
Transport
Dangerous-goods packing, labelling and paperwork for air, sea and road. Shipped to four continents.

03 / PROGRAMME

From request to delivery.

  1. 01

    Request

    Send the specification using the form below. Drawings, datasheets and photos of an existing battery all help.

  2. 02

    Engineering review

    An engineer checks the requirement, recommends a route and quotes price, programme and freight before anything is committed.

  3. 03

    Engineering

    1-2 weeks

    Pack design, BMS programme and documentation. Prototype sign-off where the project needs it.

  4. 04

    Production

    4 weeks

    Hand-built by our partner factory to a TITAN spec sheet.

  5. 05

    Freight and QC

    4-6 weeks by sea

    Freight, end-pack QC in Cheltenham, then delivery. Air freight shortens this stage.

Engineering
Production
Sea freight
Air freight (option)
Weeks from order
FIG. 1 / TYPICAL PROGRAMME. 9-12 WEEKS BY SEA, SHORTER BY AIR.

No minimum order

One prototype or a production run. On small quantities, freight and lead time drive the cost more than volume, and the quotation states both.

When it is urgent

Air freight and the configure route shorten the programme. Our nuclear-site build was delivered by air in 4 weeks.

05 / DOCUMENTATION

What ships with a project.

The paperwork matters as much as the pack. Every project includes the documents needed to integrate, ship and maintain it.

Specification
A TITAN spec sheet for the configured or custom pack.
Safety
Safety data sheet (MSDS).
Transport
UN38.3 test summary for configured packs. For new designs, transport testing is scoped in the quotation.
Shipping
Dangerous-goods packing, labelling and forwarder paperwork.
Integration
Comms protocol details and wiring guidance for your system.

Further testing, such as IEC 62619 at pack level or a technical file for a notified body, is scoped in the quotation where your sector requires it.

06 / REQUEST A QUOTATION

Request a quotation.

Tell us what the battery has to do. An engineer reviews every request and replies by email. Send drawings, datasheets and photos in reply.

What helps us quote

  • What it powers, and how
  • Voltage, capacity or runtime, and peak current
  • The space it has to fit, with any weight limit
  • The coldest and hottest it will see
  • How it charges
  • Quantity now and per year

We don't take on single or small-batch e-bike batteries. E-bike packs only in production quantities.

07 / FAQ

Questions engineers ask.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. We build single prototypes as well as production runs. On small quantities, freight and lead time drive the cost more than volume, and the quotation states both before anything is committed.

How long does a custom lithium battery take?

A typical programme is 1-2 weeks of engineering, 4 weeks of production and 4-6 weeks of sea freight. Air freight shortens the final stage when the deadline needs it. New designs that need prototype sign-off take longer, and the quotation sets out the programme.

Are you a UK lithium battery manufacturer?

TITAN is a UK battery company. We design the packs, the BMS and the documentation in Cheltenham, our partner factory hand-builds them to a TITAN spec sheet, and every pack passes end-pack QC in Cheltenham before it ships. On a custom project you deal directly with the engineers who design it.

Does a custom battery carry the lifetime warranty?

Where the pack stays close to our standard range, as most configured packs do, the same lifetime warranty applies, fully transferrable. For more bespoke designs, the warranty is agreed per project and stated in the quotation, so the terms are clear before you order.

Can you replace a battery that is no longer made?

Yes. Send the original's datasheet if you have it, its dimensions, connector details and photos. We match the footprint and electrical behaviour, usually with better protection than the original. Our legacy military project replaced a discontinued Kokam pouch cell this way.

Can a lithium battery work at -30°C?

Yes, with the right design. Lithium cells must not be charged below freezing, so cold-site packs use internal heating, insulation and a BMS programme that only charges once the cells are warm. On the British Antarctic Survey project the heater runs from the solar input alone, so it never drains the stored energy.

Can you remove the Bluetooth from a battery?

Yes. For sites that prohibit radio-emitting devices, the Bluetooth module is physically removed rather than switched off in software, as on our nuclear-site build.

Can you ship custom lithium batteries internationally?

Yes. We prepare the dangerous-goods packing, labelling and paperwork for air, sea and road, and supply the safety and transport documents the carrier asks for. We have shipped to four continents.

Do you build e-bike batteries?

Only in production quantities. We don't take on single or small-batch e-bike packs.
