From eVTOL and motorsport to energy storage and advanced research, the expectations placed on battery performance are higher than ever. At Avocet Battery Materials, we manufacture precision-engineered lithium ion battery tabs designed specifically for pouch cell applications, helping our customers push the boundaries of energy storage, safely and efficiently.
And this October, we’ll be showcasing our solutions at The Battery Show North America, where we’re looking forward to connecting with the companies leading that charge.
The Role of Lithium Ion Battery Tabs in Cell Performance
Often underestimated, tabs are one of the most crucial links in the battery system. They provide the interface between the cell and the external circuit, and their design directly impacts:
- Internal resistance and heat generation
- Cell reliability and safety
- Mechanical integrity during cycling
- Compatibility with automated assembly and welding processes
That’s why poor-quality tabs are not an option in high-demand applications. Whether you’re building batteries for performance, safety, or longevity, getting the tab design right is essential.
Introducing Flyweight: Bimetallic Performance Without the Trade-Offs
Among the technologies we’ll be exhibiting is Flyweight, our lightweight, high-performance bimetallic tab developed for pouch cell applications where every gram matters.
Flyweight combines copper and aluminium to deliver outstanding weight reduction without sacrificing conductivity, corrosion resistance, or mechanical strength. It’s already being used by manufacturers supplying motorsport EVs and other high-specification applications where performance and efficiency are non-negotiable.
Built for the Sectors That Lead Innovation
At Avocet, we work with customers across:
- Electric Vehicles and Motorsport
- Aerospace and eVTOL
- Energy Storage Systems
- Universities and Research Institutes
- Consumer and Industrial Electronics
We offer both standard and custom tab configurations using a range of materials, including copper, aluminium, nickel-plated options, and laminates, to align with your exact technical requirements.
See Flyweight in Action at The Battery Show North America
From October 7–9, Avocet Battery Materials will be exhibiting at The Battery Show North America, where you’ll find Flyweight alongside the rest of our pouch cell tab range at Stand 3222 (UK Pavilion).
You can also pre-book a meeting with us here.
Whether you’re in the early stages of development or preparing for mass production, we’re ready to support your tab specification, prototyping, and supply chain needs.
Because when it comes to lithium ion battery tabs, every detail counts, and Flyweight proves that lighter can still mean stronger.
