Our Expertise
Choose the Right Cell Strategy with Expert Chemistry and Architecture Guidance
We help manufacturers and product teams evaluate battery cell formats, chemistry options, energy and power tradeoffs, thermal behavior, voltage strategy, and long-term deployment goals before module and pack design decisions are locked in.
From cylindrical, pouch, and prismatic format comparisons to chemistry selection tied to performance, durability, charging behavior, and safety, our approach helps create stronger battery foundations for real manufacturing and real-world use.

Learn MoreStandards Customers Often Prepare For
The programs below are common lithium battery certification and test pathways. Prime Energy can help customers prepare documentation, test readiness, and pack design decisions aligned to these standards. Listing these standards does not mean Prime Energy or every completed battery assembly currently holds these certifications.
- UL 1973 — For lithium battery packs and systems used in stationary energy storage and motive auxiliary power applications.
- UL 2580 — For lithium battery packs and modules used in electric vehicle applications.
- UL 2271 — For lithium batteries used in light electric vehicle applications such as smaller mobility platforms and support vehicles.
- IEC 62133-2 — For portable sealed secondary lithium cells and batteries used in portable applications.
- IEC 62619 — For secondary lithium cells and batteries used in industrial applications, including many larger pack and stationary use cases.
- IECEE CB Scheme — A global certification pathway that helps support international acceptance of test reports and certificates for applicable IEC battery standards.
- UL 9540 — System-level listing path for complete energy storage systems and equipment, often relevant when a battery pack is part of a larger ESS.
- UL 9540A — Fire test method commonly used to evaluate thermal runaway fire propagation behavior in battery energy storage systems.
- UN 38.3 — Transport testing required for shipping lithium cells and batteries; this is a transportation compliance requirement rather than a product safety listing.
