OEM/ODM Guide
How to Customize a Battery Pack for Your Product explains how an OEM or ODM lithium battery project moves from requirements review to samples and batch delivery. A successful custom battery pack must combine the right cells, protection circuit, wiring, connector and mechanical structure.
ASOL supports custom lithium battery projects for product brands, equipment manufacturers, system integrators and industrial device builders.

1. Requirement Review
The project starts with voltage, capacity, discharge current, working temperature, available space, charging method and application details. Clear requirements reduce sample iterations and help the factory choose a realistic pack structure.
2. Solution Design
After reviewing the requirements, the engineering team defines the cell model, series/parallel arrangement, BMS/PCM rating, wire gauge, connector type, insulation method and label layout. For special products, the housing or sleeve structure can also be customized.
| Design item | Typical options |
|---|---|
| Cell format | 18650, 21700, lithium polymer, LiFePO4 or project-specific cell models. |
| Protection | PCM, smart BMS, NTC, balancing and communication functions when required. |
| Connection | JST, Molex, DC plug, XT connector, bare wire or customer-specified terminal. |
| Packaging | PVC sleeve, heat-shrink, hard case, label and export packaging. |
3. Sample Production
Sample packs allow the customer to test runtime, charging, discharge current, connector position and mechanical fit. Any adjustment to wire length, polarity, BMS limit or label should be completed before mass production.
4. Testing and Confirmation
Testing should cover capacity, charging, discharging, aging, short-circuit protection, appearance and packaging. For export projects, UN38.3, MSDS, CE or RoHS documentation may be required depending on the market.
5. Batch Production and Delivery
After sample confirmation, ASOL can arrange batch production, final QC, labeling, packaging and shipment. Stable documentation and confirmed technical drawings help keep repeat orders consistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can ASOL customize connectors and wire harnesses?
Yes. Connector model, wire length, polarity, gauge and terminal type can be customized for the finished device.
What should be confirmed before sample production?
Voltage, capacity, load current, dimensions, connector, charging method, protection function and target application should be confirmed first.
Can OEM branding be added?
Yes. Label, logo, packaging and selected housing details can be customized for qualified batch orders.
Send Your Battery Requirements
For project evaluation, share your target voltage, capacity, size limit, load current, connector requirement, application details and expected quantity. ASOL can review the cell structure, BMS/PCM, wiring and sample plan before mass production.
