Inside the R&D Organization

Three R&D Centers, One Continuous Chain

Two dedicated R&D centers (cell technology + PACK/BMS) plus process technology development — 75+ full-time engineers with 30+ years of electrochemistry leadership. From material chemistry to a validated, mass-producible PACK, nothing is outsourced.

PLB forward-looking basic research laboratory
Center 01

Forward-Looking Basic Research

AbilityMaterials and electrochemistry studies covering chemical, electrochemical, thermal, reliability and safety analysis.

Data8 core analytical instruments (EDXRF, BET, electrochemical workstation, etc.) · 30+ years GM leadership · 80%+ team with bachelor's degree or above

“Before you commit to a cell chemistry, we simulate your application's thermal profile, discharge curve and cycle life — so you specify with data, not guesswork.”

PLB product development and validation
Center 02

Product Development

AbilityCell-to-system product engineering with DOE-driven design reviews and rigorous validation gates before mass production.

Data5 cell platforms developed in-house · 1,000+ custom PACK projects · validation covers electrical, thermal, mechanical and safety dimensions

“Every custom PACK goes through structured validation gates — not shipped until it passes your application's real-world conditions.”

PLB process technology development
Center 03

Process Technology Development

AbilityManufacturing process R&D with CPK/SPC discipline, yielding high consistency and stable mass production.

DataBatch deviation <3% · 300M+ cells with zero incidents · CPK-controlled production lines

“Process R&D isn't about the lab — it's about making sure cell #1 and cell #300,000,000 behave identically. That's what CPK/SPC discipline delivers.”

R&D Process

From Concept to Mass Production — How We Build Your Battery

Six structured stages. Clear timelines. One engineering team owns the entire journey — no handoffs, no gaps.

1

Requirement
Analysis

1–2 days

We review your voltage, capacity, form factor, discharge profile and application environment.

2

Cell Selection
& Simulation

3–5 days

Match your spec to our 10 in-house 26650 platforms. Thermal and cycle-life simulation before any hardware is built.

3

BMS Design
& Firmware

5–7 days

Hardware schematic + firmware development. CAN, RS485, UART or Bluetooth — tuned to your communication protocol.

4

Prototype
Assembly

Day 15

Cell-to-PACK assembly in our dedicated plant. Miyachi welding, Bosch fastening, 100% functional test before shipment.

5

Validation
& Testing

2–4 weeks

Electrical, thermal, mechanical and safety validation against your application's real-world conditions.

6

Pilot Run →
Mass Production

30–60 days

Pilot batch for your field testing. Once approved, scale to full production with CPK/SPC-controlled consistency.

15days to prototypefrom confirmed specs
30days to pilot runincluding validation
Why this matters: Most PACK assemblers need 4–8 weeks just to quote a custom project. PLB runs cell selection and BMS development in parallel — your working prototype ships in 15 days. That speed difference can be the gap between winning and losing a customer bid.
Collaboration Models

How We Work With You — Three Paths to Production

From off-the-shelf cells to joint IP development. Pick the model that matches your project stage and risk appetite.

Standard Cell Selection

Fastest path to production

Pick from our 10 existing 26650 LiFePO4 platforms. Each model is fully characterized with published datasheets, test reports and certifications. No development risk, no lead time uncertainty.
