Emerging Power delivers engineered lithium battery solutions specifically tailored for high-payload commercial drones and mission-critical military UAV platforms. With over 120 years of collective battery engineering expertise, our USA-based facility provides full lifecycle OEM/ODM services—from initial cell selection and smart BMS development to prototype fabrication, AS9100 quality compliance, and mass production.
Commercial unmanned aircraft demand maximum energy density, extended flight endurance, and high C-rate discharge capability under extreme weather conditions. Emerging Power engineers customized primary non-rechargeable and high-cycle rechargeable lithium battery assemblies optimized for payload efficiency and rapid turnaround times.
As an ITAR-registered manufacturer with AS9100 aerospace quality certification, Emerging Power builds ruggedized military drone battery packs capable of operating in hostile defense environments. Our engineering team brings over 75 years of specialized defense battery design experience to tactical reconnaissance, surveillance, and combat platforms.
Safety and reliability are paramount in unmanned flight operations. Our full-stack engineering capability includes custom PCB board layouts, hardware/software protection design, cell-balancing algorithms, precise state-of-charge (SOC) indicators, and automated production testing.
Whether utilizing Tier-1 Lithium-Ion 18650/21700 cells, Ultra-High Energy Density Silicon Anode cells (Amprius/NanoGraf), or Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) pouch configurations, we deliver optimal volumetric energy density tailored to your exact mechanical constraints.
