Modular. Efficient. Forward-looking.

We offer customized solutions for various cell configurations that are precision-manufactured and flexible to combine. By pairing them with connectors and housings, busbars and bimetals, welding pads, power pins, and stamping grids, we create battery systems that meet the highest performance, safety, and efficiency demands of our customers.  

Our variable design can be adapted to every application:

  • Short tolerance chains for a precise fit 
  • Waterproof construction for maximum safety 
  • Lower heat generation for longer runtimes 
  • Performance optimization through the intelligent use of materials 
  • Modularity for flexible applications

Intelligent Cell Connections — Innovation from a Single Source

Advantages for Your Battery Systems: 

  • Tabless Cell Generation 21700 & 18650: Less resistance and more power 
  • High output power (AC rated power) 
  • Improved heat dissipation and efficient heat transfer 
  • Reduction of electrical connections: Harmonized contacts and fewer interfaces 

These features enable a more compact, powerful, and durable battery unit. The modular design also supports optimized assembly and an efficient logistics concept. 

Cell Contact Systems: Versatile Technologies for Every Application 

Diehl Metal Applications develops cell contact systems that can be flexibly adapted to different battery concepts, cell formats, and sizes. Our expertise covers all relevant connection technologies, including resistance spot welding, laser welding, and wire bonding. By precisely coordinating materials, interfaces, and manufacturing processes, we ensure reliable electrical contact in every application. 

Our cell contacting systems are used in a wide range of low-voltage applications:

  • e-bikes,
  • light electric vehicles (LEVs/LCVs),
  • power tools,
  • energy storage systems,
  • garden and landscaping equipment,
  • automated guided vehicles (AGVs),
  • agricultural robots (AGR),
  • drones,
  • autonomous logistics systems,
  • swap and battery-as-a-service concepts,
  • off-road and camping vehicles,
  • marine applications (48V).

Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and extensive experience in metal-plastic processing, Diehl Metal Applications offers customized solutions that meet the highest performance, safety, durability, and efficiency requirements for a sustainable, electrified future.
