Modern defence operations are highly dependent on reliable electronic systems. From secure communications and surveillance equipment to unmanned platforms, we know your military personnel rely on technology that must perform consistently in demanding environments.
At Lincad, we design and manufacture lithium-ion military battery solutions that support these systems with dependable, efficient and mission-ready power.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Power on the Battlefield
Defence electronics have become more sophisticated and power-hungry. Radios, thermal imaging devices, targeting systems, navigation equipment and body-worn technology all require a stable source of energy.
A modern rechargeable military battery must do more than simply provide power. It must offer a dependable performance and have a practical operating life while remaining suitable for deployment on the field.
Lithium-ion technology is well suited to these requirements. Compared with many older battery chemistries, it can deliver more usable energy from a smaller and lighter battery pack. This helps reduce the load carried by personnel and allows military systems to operate for longer between charges.
Reliable Even in the Toughest Environments
Military power systems may be exposed to vibration, shock, moisture, dust and wide temperature variations. For this reason, a commercial battery is not always suitable for a defence application.
We develop our products in accordance with UK Defence Standards and US Military Standards, with close attention to environmental performance and electromagnetic compatibility. EMC is particularly important where a military lithium-ion battery is used alongside sensitive communications, detection or electronic warfare equipment.
The battery must provide reliable power without interfering with the wider system. Its enclosure, connections, battery management system and internal protection features must therefore be considered as part of the complete design.
Supporting a Wide Range of Defence Applications
Our defence battery technology can be used across a broad range of applications, including military communications equipment, surveillance systems, robotics, unmanned systems and portable electronic devices.
Some programmes can be supported by commercial off-the-shelf products, while others require a bespoke battery design. We work with customers to understand the application, operating environment, electrical requirements and integration constraints before developing the most appropriate solution.
This approach allows us to support both established platforms and emerging defence technologies.
Building Security into the Supply Chain
The performance of the battery is only one part of a successful defence programme. Customers also need confidence in quality, compliance, availability and long-term support.
As a British military battery manufacturer, we are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accredited, Cyber Essentials Plus certified and JOSCAR registered. All Lincad products are also ITAR component free, helping customers manage international defence procurement and supply chain requirements.
By combining engineering experience with rigorous standards, we provide lithium-ion military battery solutions designed to keep modern defence electronics operating when dependable power matters most.
