Why co-creation?
Electrifying an off-highway machine is never a linear process. Every platform has unique constraints: limited space, changing load profiles, cooling challenges, integration with existing ECUs, or specific safety requirements. A standard battery pack rarely fits, technically or commercially.
That’s why we believe in co-creation. Instead of delivering a predefined solution, we work side-by-side with your engineering team to design a battery pack that fits your machine, its duty cycle, and your production reality. Together, we create a system that performs reliably in the field and is ready for scalable manufacturing.
Proven co-creation proces
Our proven 6-step project flow, with go/no go moments, keeps you in control. From intake, requirement specification and pricing to project kick-off, designing, prototyping and final review before serial production.

Custom battery pack components
Every pack is composed of several critical components, from BMS and thermal management to chargers and IoT modules, each available in different configurations. Depending on your duty cycle, available space and safety requirements, you can select the components that fit best, or let our engineers advise you on the optimal setup. This way, every battery system becomes a perfect match for your application.
Do you have a project in mind?
From our own premium brands to leading A-brands, we offer a complete range of high-quality batteries and energy systems. Always selected to deliver reliability, performance and a perfect fit for your project.
Battery cell technology
When electrifying a machine, you have two fundamental choices: build with individual cells or build with standard modules. At Intercel, we support both, because each approach offers distinct advantages. Cell-based builds give you maximum freedom in shape, dimensions and capacity, allowing us to use every millimetre of available space to achieve the highest possible energy density. Module-based builds offer commercial and logistical benefits, with faster integration and cost efficiency
You have full freedom in battery chemistry. We typically recommend the latest generation Lithium LFP because it combines high safety, long life, fast charging and sustainability (no cobalt). But depending on your application, LTO (ultra-fast charging, extremely high cycle life up to 30.000 cycles) or NMC (very high energy density) can be the better match.
Whatever your machine requires – compact size, safety, lifetime, power, or charging speed – our engineers guide you to the optimal configuration.
The benefits of a custom battery
1. A battery that fits your machine, not the other way around
Off-highway vehicles rarely follow standard dimensions. Through co-creation, mechanical, thermal and electrical constraints are incorporated from the start, resulting in a pack that uses available space efficiently without compromising performance or safety.
2. Faster engineering decisions, fewer redesigns
By working directly with your engineers, we validate assumptions early, test concepts quickly and avoid late-stage surprises. This reduces the risk of redesigns, shortens development time and aligns the battery system with your production schedules.
3. Proven safety and compliance from day one
Co-creation ensures that regulatory requirements, from cell safety to thermal runaway prevention and functional safety, are built into the design from the beginning. No guesswork. No compliance risks after tooling.
4. Better business cases through system optimization
Because we optimize not just the pack, but the full energy system (BMS, charger, cooling, software, IoT), the result is a battery that lasts longer, performs better and lowers total cost of ownership.
