If you’re building the next generation of battery packs, for EVs, eVTOL, energy storage, aerospace, or advanced electronics, you already know how critical every component is. But when timelines are tight and performance requirements are high, even something as “simple” as a cell tab can cause unnecessary delays, inefficiencies, or design limitations.
At Avocet Battery Materials, we’re here to fix that.
Problem: “Our current supplier can’t meet our spec or schedule.”
Our solution: We manufacture custom-engineered pouch cell tabs, including our flagship Flyweight bimetallic tab, at our UK facility with short lead times and technical flexibility. Whether you need help matching performance requirements, adapting to a new cell design, or scaling up from pilot to production, we move quickly without sacrificing quality.
Problem: “Our tab design adds too much weight to the pack.”
Our solution:
Flyweight reduces weight by up to 5.63 kg per 1000-cell pack by replacing most of the copper in traditional tabs with aluminium, without losing conductivity or weldability. It’s already in use in performance-driven applications like motorsport, aerospace, and defence.
Problem: “We need tabs that can handle high current or harsh environments.”
Our solution: We offer multiple material options and surface treatments, including corrosion-resistant and high-power configurations. Our edge-tapering technology enables full sealing, even with thicker (>1 mm) tabs, making them ideal for fast charging and high-energy cell designs.
