When people’s lives depend on the reliability of devices in the harshest environments, there’s no room for compromise.

Rugged military batteries need to endure many extremes, from fluctuations in temperature to shocks and vibrations, moisture and electromagnetic interference. They need to do all this while delivering a consistent performance. For over 35 years, Lincad has built its reputation on doing exactly that.

Originally founded to service military batteries, Lincad has grown into a leading British manufacturer of advanced power management systems for defence and security applications. Today, a significant share of our business revolves around the design and manufacture of military-grade batteries and chargers tailored for high-pressure environments. 

So, what exactly makes a rugged military battery “rugged”? 

Engineering to the Latest Standards

At Lincad, our products are designed in line with UK Defence Standards (Def Stans), US Military Standards (MIL-STDs), NATO STANAGs and other official benchmarks in the defence sector. This means they’re built to operate flawlessly in challenging environments, from deserts and jungles to arctic terrain.

We also offer versatile and adaptable solutions. Whether it’s a multi-cell battery pack for powering ECM equipment, or a modular propulsion system for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), we have the experience and technical knowledge to deliver. 

Our portfolio demonstrates the latest in battery and charger technology, with products proven to perform in the toughest operations.

Environmental and Electromagnetic Resilience

We appreciate that electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is critical in modern battlefields, where electronic interference can be catastrophic. Our products are carefully engineered to meet these demands, without compromising size, weight or energy density.

But rugged doesn’t have to mean off-the-shelf. While Lincad offers a wide selection of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, we specialise in adapting and customising power systems for your unique needs. 

If you can’t find the right solutions in our portfolio, we can modify or design a system to meet the precise requirements of our customers, quickly, cost-effectively and in full compliance with the needs of the defence sector. 

At Lincad, ‘rugged’ isn’t just about tough casing or waterproof seals. It’s about a proven design philosophy rooted in decades of experience, shaped by military standards, and guided by an ethos of quality, responsibility, and innovation. 

When you choose Lincad, you’re choosing power systems that work where others fail.
