Core offering

LANZO Batteries develops and manufactures modular lithium-ion battery packs for space energy storage, offering three space-qualified product lines (L200, M50, S10) covering large satellites, small satellites, and CubeSats. The company also provides engineering services including battery selection, structural/thermal/electrical analysis with BMS, design simulation, integration, qualification, and lifetime prediction. Technology leverages COTS elements adapted from automotive sectors for space systems.

Product overview

LANZO Batteries is a spin-off of CIDETEC Energy Storage, specializing in battery pack development and manufacturing for space energy storage with improved energy density and weight reduction. The company offers three modular Li-Ion battery products: the L200 for large satellites (200 kg), the M50 for small satellites (50 kg range), and the S10 for CubeSats (under 10 kg). All products utilize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) elements adapted from the automotive sector. Services include battery selection, design with structural/thermal/electrical analysis (including BMS), integration, qualification, and lifetime prediction analysis.

Broad incumbents

• EaglePicher Technologies: Long-established US supplier of space-qualified batteries (Li-Ion, NiH2, thermal) for NASA, DoD and commercial satellites. Direct overlap in space-grade Li-Ion battery packs for satellite platforms like LANZO's L200/M50/S10, but with much broader portfolio and heritage.
• Saft (TotalEnergies): French battery manufacturer producing space-qualified Li-Ion cells and packs with extensive flight heritage on European and US space programs. Closest European large incumbent competitor to LANZO in space-grade batteries.
• EnerSys: Global industrial battery manufacturer with a space and defense division supplying Li-Ion batteries for satellite and launch vehicle applications. Comparable in space Li-Ion pack offerings, though EnerSys serves many broader industrial verticals as well.
• GS Yuasa: Japanese battery manufacturer with a dedicated space division (GS Yuasa Lithium Power) supplying Li-Ion cells for satellites and launchers. Comparable space-grade Li-Ion technology positioning, particularly relevant for LEO satellite constellations.

Direct peers

• NanoAvionics: US-headquartered smallsat bus manufacturer with in-house power subsystems for CubeSats and microsatellites. Comparable as both a satellite integrator that also competes in space-grade battery subsystems for the same smallsat customer base.
• AAC Clyde Space: Scottish smallsat manufacturer that produces its own power systems including CubeSat and small-satellite battery packs. Comparable to LANZO's M50/S10 offerings for the commercial CubeSat and smallsat market.
• GomSpace: Danish CubeSat and small-satellite platform integrator that also develops its own power systems including Li-Ion battery packs for sub-50 kg satellites. Directly comparable to LANZO's M50 and S10 product positioning in the smallsat segment.
• Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space): European supplier of satellite structures and electronics, including power conditioning and battery systems for institutional and commercial satellites. Direct competitor in space-qualified power systems for satellite primes.

Regional players

• Berliner Glas: European supplier of space-qualified electrical/electronic subsystems including battery electronics for satellite platforms. Comparable European space-power-systems peer, though based in Germany rather than Spain.

Emerging players

• H2FLY: German developer of hydrogen-electric aircraft (HY4 demonstrator) partnering with cell and pack suppliers for hybrid propulsion. Comparable to LANZO's ITHICAPA aviation work, focused on similar hydrogen-aircraft propulsion applications.
