These state-of-the-art solutions enable OEMs and integrators to power the next generation of unmanned and autonomous systems.

NDAA-Compliant Battery Manufacturing

Exergy’s NDAA-compliant battery products are manufactured and assembled using a secure, traceable supply chain free from covered foreign entities. These packs provide ultra-reliable power solutions for U.S. and allied defense and government organizations, UAV manufacturers and integrators working on critical UAS programs.

Exergy manages the full battery development lifecycle, from initial concept and rapid prototyping through to defense-standard testing and full-scale production. The company’s expert engineering teams combine thermal management and advanced assembly techniques to address complex operational challenges such as galvanic corrosion in demanding field environments. Pack design and manufacturing are developed around the real-world integration and size, weight and power (SWaP) limitations faced by today’s UxV designers.

Performance-Optimized Hard-Case Battery Packs for Demanding UAV Applications

Exergy’s Maverick hard-case battery packs feature sealed aluminum enclosures that surpass the limitations of traditional shrink-wrapped designs, providing rugged environmental protection and enhanced water resistance for demanding field operations. Internally compression-optimized cell arrangements help maintain structural integrity and ensure consistent end-of-life (EOL) performance.

The product range offers a choice of configurations to accommodate different voltage, capacity and discharge requirements. All Exergy battery packs are designed to pass UN38.3 certification, ensuring safe transport and deployment.
