About EVolve Battery Systems

EVolve Battery Systems is a U.S.-based battery engineering company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. The company specializes in custom lithium-ion battery systems for aerospace, defense, industrial, and research applications. EVolve designs and manufactures two primary product lines: MonoLith, a turnkey aluminum-enclosed battery pack system, and Lithium Block, a wire-bonded modular battery platform. Customers configure systems through the PackForge platform and submit requests for quote directly from the site.

Where We're the Right Fit

We excel where speed, flexibility, and direct engineering access matter most.

First-article builds, custom envelopes, odd voltages

When standard solutions don't fit your unique requirements

Low-to-medium volume OEM programs, from prototypes to production

We specialize in OEM and fleet programs where you're building a repeatable product or vehicle platform. That may start with a handful of prototypes and pilot units, but there's a clear path to multiple builds, not one-off personal projects.

Programs that need documentation + compliance as deliverables

Built into our process from day one, not afterthoughts

Teams who want direct access to the engineers building the hardware

No layers of sales or project management. Talk directly to builders.

Our Process

Real durations, not marketing timelines. From concept to shipping hardware.

1

Scope

1–3 days

Requirements review and feasibility

Build

6–10 weeks

Assembly and integration

4

Test & Docs

-1-2 days

Validation and documentation

5

Ship

IATA/DOT compliant

Proper hazmat documentation

Proof Points

Real projects, real timelines, real results. Anonymized for confidentiality.

Aerospace Lab

Standards & Clarity

Transparent about what's certified now and what's program-specific.

What's Certified Now

Lithium Block™ 5P/6P/10P (UN38.3)

What's Program-Specific

MonoLith™ packs (certification and test plans quoted per program)

Shipping

Built around IATA/DOT requirements with handling docs in the crate

How We Work With Volume

We're not a gigafactory. When you're ready for volume, we help you transfer documentation and fixtures to your production partner.

Our role is to de-risk, prototype, certify, and ship working hardware fast, then provide the handoff package for scale manufacturing.

Human, No Bios

We keep teams small and senior so iteration stays fast. You work directly with the people building your hardware.
