Custom Lithium Batteries for Autonomous Systems

Powering Drones, AGVs, and Robotics with Safe, High-Efficiency Battery Design

Autonomous platforms—whether flying, driving, or crawling—rely on one critical factor: uninterrupted power. Apex builds lithium battery systems that are custom-fit for the evolving needs of autonomy in logistics, defense, agriculture, and industrial automation.

Why Custom Power?

Off-the-shelf battery packs fall short in:

• Voltage or amperage matching

• Environmental tolerance

• Footprint limitations

• Integrated monitoring

We work with you to tailor everything from cell chemistry to connectors.

Chemistry and Weight Balance

We select from lithium-ion, NMC, and LiFePO4 chemistries based on:

• Weight-to-power ratio

• Safety under load

• Thermal tolerance

• Charge cycles for extended use

For drones, weight matters most. For ground-based AGVs, runtime and durability take priority.

Form Factor and Integration

• Enclosures designed around your frame

• Custom harnessing and connectors

• Power bus matching and mechanical fit

We ensure plug-and-play functionality with your control systems and BMS.

BMS and Intelligence

Every Apex pack includes a smart BMS with:

• SOC/SOH monitoring

• CAN/UART comms

• Fault logging and load profiling

• Safe shutdown and reroute options

Thermal and Environmental Control

Autonomous systems operate continuously and often in enclosed or harsh environments. Our thermal solutions include:

• Passive cooling

• Active thermal regulation

• Shock and vibration resistance

Use Cases

• Drone surveillance and mapping

• Warehouse robots

• Remote agricultural vehicles

• Autonomous marine sensors

Conclusion

Autonomy needs reliable power as much as it needs intelligent control. Apex custom battery systems provide both—engineered for endurance, precision, and integration.
