Engineered for demanding evironments
Off-highway machines operate in some of the harshest conditions possible. That’s why they need battery packs that deliver reliable power, withstand shock and vibration, and integrate seamlessly with complex machine architectures.
Intercel designs and builds off-highway battery packs that meet these requirements, with the safety, robustness and performance needed for construction, agriculture, industrial equipment and beyond.
What is an off-highway battery pack?
Off-highway battery packs are engineered specifically for machines that work long hours, carry heavy loads and face constant stress from dust, moisture, vibration and temperature changes. Unlike standard mobility batteries, off-highway packs prioritise ruggedness, uptime, safety and thermal stability above all else.
Every pack we design is built to:
- handle high power peaks and intensive duty cycles
- operate safely in tough environments
- maintain performance under vibration, dust and impact
- integrate with ECU, CAN communication and machine controls
- deliver long lifecycle and predictable uptime
These are not automotive batteries. They are purpose-built energy systems for hard-working machines.
Where off-highway packs are used
Our packs power a wide range of machines across multiple industries:
- Construction: excavators, loaders, cranes, compact machinery, floor mortar trucks
- Agriculture: tractors, harvesters, carriers
- Material handling: mounted forklifts, telehandlers, AGVs, terminal tractors
- Mining & tunnelling: underground loaders, haulers, drilling equipment
- Municipal & public service: sweepers, waste collection, service vehicles, electric workboats
- Industrial & special equipment: production equipment, platforms & scissor lifts, utility vehicles
Off-highway battery packs from Cellpower
At Intercel we develop off-highway battery packs from our own brand Cellpower. However, if you need a white labeled battery pack or want us to create a battery pack using your own brand guidelines, we can definitely do that for you. We build our battery packs standardized if possible, and configured to order if needed. Check out the batteries below to get a feeling of all that’s possible.

Charging your off-highway machines
Charging an off-highway machine often requires more than a standard grid connection. Many worksites lack sufficient on-site power or experience fluctuating demand. To support reliable charging in these environments, Intercel offers mobile energy storage systems that deliver stable AC or DC power wherever your machine operates. These units function as standalone charging infrastructure, enabling overnight charging, opportunity charging during shifts, or high-power fast charging when required. The result: predictable energy availability, reduced dependency on the grid and maximised uptime for your electrified equipment.

What’s inside an off-highway battery pack?
Every off-highway battery pack is a complete energy system, not just a set of cells in a housing. All components work together to ensure safety, efficiency and long-term performance.
Engineered for safety, compliance and long-term reliability
Our off-highway battery packs are built to meet strict European safety standards and are validated extensively for real-world field conditions.
- Designed & assembled in Europe
- Multiple safety layers in the BMS and hardware
- High IP & IK ratings
