What Fedco Batteries does

Fedco Batteries, legally Fedco Electronics, Inc., is a family-owned designer, assembler, and distributor of custom and standard battery packs headquartered in a 16,000 sq/ft facility at 1363 Capital Drive, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Founded in 1975 and incorporated in Wisconsin in 1976, the company has engineered battery packs since 1993 across virtually every major chemistry - Lithium-Ion, Lithium Polymer, Nickel Metal Hydride, Ni-Cad, Sealed Lead Acid, Alkaline, Zinc-Carbon, Silver Oxide, Zinc Air, and Lithium Primary - as an authorized assembler for leading cell manufacturers including Panasonic, Sony, Samsung SDI, Saft, FDK, Varta-Microbattery, EnerSys, Ultralife, JHyPower, Renata, and Kokam. Its proprietary INFINITY platform bundles Design, Build, Fulfillment, Connect, and Support services; in-house engineering delivers custom pack design, prototyping, feasibility studies, and next-generation BMS products such as the SC1000F-BMS and SCx000F-BMS-MD built on Texas Instruments fuel-gauging silicon.

Fedco operates four revenue streams: custom OEM battery pack manufacturing (project-priced, with NRE), standard off-the-shelf battery packs with no minimum order quantity, ENERGY+ brand replacement batteries sold through an international distributor and dealer network, and INFINITY managed fulfillment services that drop-ship directly to OEM end customers as an approved hazardous-material shipper. Its go-to-market combines a nationwide network of independent manufacturer representatives with direct enterprise field sales targeting OEM manufacturers, supplemented by trade show presence at The Battery Show North America 2026 (Booth 6602) and MD&M West. Customers span medical devices, industrial controls, robotics, defense, aerospace, transportation, oil and gas down-hole monitoring, utilities, and stage lighting, with named engagements for medical equipment OEMs, defense contractors, a foreign coast guard, electric utilities, robot manufacturers, and a global industrial manufacturer. Approximately 15% of sales are exported to distributors in most industrialized countries.

Fedco is led by Chairman and CEO Stephen P. Victor, Jr. P.E., President Peter F. Victor, VP Finance Edwin T. Tetzlaff, and VP Sales and Marketing John R. Chamberlain (joined 2026), with about one engineer per six employees including two Registered Professional Engineers. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications (NQA), DFARS compliance for specialty metals, ITAR registration (M21253) with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, RoHS 3 compliance, and charter membership in the PRBA, where its CEO serves on the Board of Directors. Recent investments include facility upgrades and new sales hires across U.S. regions, signaling measured expansion of both capacity and commercial reach.
