Ultra-High Energy Density Battery Technologies for Military & Government Drones & Unmanned Systems Netherlands
Ultra-High Energy Density Battery Technologies for Military & Government Drones & Unmanned Systems
Tulip Tech is a leading developer of ultra-high energy density battery technologies for military and government drones and unmanned systems. Developed to aerospace-grade standards and offering industry-leading reliability and longevity, our products provide enhanced mission endurance while minimizing weight.
Why Use Tulip Batteries?
High-Performance – With unparalleled energy density, our battery solutions boost drone flight times by up to 100%, providing greater range and allowing you to achieve more with every mission, whether it’s ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), force protection, or battlefield logistics.
Scalable & Customizable – Our batteries can be customized to meet exact requirements for size, capacity or configuration, and utilize a modular system that allows for quick adjustment. We can also scale to any production demand, from low-run prototypes to mass-market volumes.
European-Made – Tulip batteries are designed and built in-house, and manufactured in EU facilities with Western-sourced components. Each pack is fully tested and documented, with traceability across the entire supply chain.
Custom Smart Batteries
We manufacture custom high-density battery solutions that can be precisely engineered to the mission requirements of your specific drone platform. Delivering up to 450 Wh/kg at the pack level, they can be easily integrated into the airframe, maximizing available payload capacity while increasing flight endurance by 30 to 100%.
Our smart batteries include built in BMS (battery management systems), with seamless communications and telemetry via CAN or SMBus. Each bespoke pack that we create is designed to meet specific voltage, capacity, and mechanical requirements, with customized software and hardware features.
The table below shows the available base battery cell options that we can build your custom solution around.
Plug & Play COTS Battery Packs
We offer a proven and constantly growing range of off-the-shelf battery packs designed for simple integration and rapid deployment, providing easy installation without compromising on quality, performance or safety.
Engineered to provide the perfect balance between fast charging and longevity, each battery pack can withstand 800 to 1000 charging cycles, and features integrated heating for enhanced performance in cold-weather conditions.
All battery packs are designed with integrated CAN and DroneCAN communications, and offer a suite of real-time monitoring capabilities and smart safety features, including:
Customizable protection modes for safe operation during flight and storage
Active pre-discharge
High-accuracy monitoring & telemetry including voltage, current, temperature, and SoC/SoH (state of charge/state of health) for optimized flight profiles
Our custom bare battery packs are ideal for defense OEMs and systems integrators that have already developed in-house BMS capabilities, and offer excellent power output and energy density in a compact and convenient format.
All bare packs can be customized to suit particular requirements. The product range includes:
