Our team of experienced professionals utilises state-of-the-art laser cutting technology to create precise and intricate components for the battery industry.

Battery Strips And Tabs

One of the critical components in battery manufacturing is strips and tabs. Our laser cutting process can produce precise strips and tabs with high accuracy and repeatability, ensuring that each component meets the required specifications. Our laser cutting technology allows us to create intricate designs and shapes, providing maximum efficiency and reliability to the battery system.

Datum battery tags are available in nickel-plated steel and commercially pure nickel. All tags are produced at our facility, cut to order with our specialised slitting and cutting equipment. This enables us to deliver high-quality standard and custom-size tags at competitive prices with short lead times.

Custom tags are becoming increasingly popular as miniaturisation and power electronics drive specialised shapes, formats and load requirements. We can specialty etch or stamp custom shaped tags to ensure high-yielding and repeatable production processes.

Custom Connectors

We specialise in producing bespoke connectors for battery pack manufacturers. Our laser cutting process can produce connectors with intricate designs and shapes, providing maximum efficiency and reliability to the battery pack. Our team of experts can work with clients to create custom solutions that meet their specific requirements.

Battery Crimps

Nickel battery connectors, Nickel plated battery connectors and Nickel strip for battery connection are best suited as links for battery packs making it is easy to solder, spot or tag weld.

Datum battery crimps replace slow, expensive soldering processes in battery pack manufacturing. By working with our customers and understanding their processes, we supply our crimps to remove bottlenecks from critical areas of your production lines.

  • Available wire sizes: 20-26 AWG, Standard 7/0.2mm, others available upon request.
  • Crimp dimensions: 11mm spade and 16mm in length
  • Material: Nickel plated stainless steel
  • Crimps are available in reels of 10,000 pieces per reel.

Battery Components

We use Nickel 200/201 grade, which conforms to the ASTM B162 standard. It’s commercially pure (99.6% and higher) with good mechanical properties, and is resistant to a range of corrosive media. Our nickel strip and tags make excellent battery connectors because they have a low electrical resistance. Most of the material we provide will be used as battery connectors, to link cells together either as a single tag from cell to cell or as a special etched or stamped tag, which can link multiple cells. The tags can be used as electronic parts, and in resistance to corrosion applications, like handling alkaline solutions and foods.
