What nova battery systems does

Nova Battery Systems (NBS) is a division of Technology Dynamics Inc., headquartered in Bergenfield, New Jersey, and operating since 1976. The company designs and manufactures custom rechargeable battery packs and charging solutions for OEM applications across military, medical, industrial, monitoring and detection, asset tracking, robotics, and UPS/critical power end markets. Core technical capabilities span multiple chemistries — Li-ion, Li-Poly, NiMH, NiCd, SLA, and LiFePO4 — and include smart Battery Management Systems with cell balancing and fuel gauging, charger design, and integration into customer end products under rigorous quality and regulatory frameworks.

NBS operates from a 50,000 sq ft facility staffed by approximately 30 degreed engineers, supported by a library of more than 4,500 field-proven designs developed over nearly five decades. The business model is project-based custom OEM/ODM: the company quotes, designs, prototypes, certifies, and manufactures against customer specifications rather than selling catalog products. Pricing is negotiated per program, with revenue tied to defense procurement cycles, medical device launches, and industrial OEM production schedules. Go-to-market combines direct relationships with U.S. prime defense contractors and medical device OEMs with a domestic sales representative network across the United States.

Competitive positioning rests on a regulatory stack that includes ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, AS9100D, UL, CE, CB, and extensive MIL-STDs, which collectively raise barriers to entry in defense and medical channels. NBS is also pursuing operational sustainability through a 175 kW rooftop solar installation aligned with U.S. Department of Defense green and Net-Zero procurement directives. The division has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or leadership changes, and operates as a privately held unit within a multi-division parent (Technology Dynamics Inc., which occupies roughly 70,000 sq ft across four Bergenfield buildings).

Core offering

Nova Battery Systems designs and manufactures custom battery packs and custom battery chargers for OEM applications across commercial, industrial, medical, and military markets. The company offers packs using multiple chemistries including Li-ion (LCO, NMC), LiFePO4, LiPo, NiMH, VRLA, and lithium primary cells, with in-house mechanical packaging, PCB design, BMS electronics, and environmental testing capabilities. Products are built to customer specifications and supported by engineering, certification, and qualification testing services.

Product overview

Nova Battery Systems is a custom battery pack and charger manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of products organized around two core offerings: Custom Battery Packs (spanning multiple rechargeable and primary chemistries including Lithium Ion, LiFePO4, LiPO, NiMH, and VRLA) and Custom Battery Chargers (including chemistry-specific and multi-channel charging solutions). The product line includes specialized variants like cobalt-free LiFePO4 packs for safety-critical applications, low-profile LiPO packs for tight spaces, and military-grade packs compliant with MIL-STDs. Supporting products include custom BMS electronics with SMBus/CANbus/Bluetooth/Wifi telemetry, as well as UN and military safety testing services. All products are designed and manufactured in-house with vertically integrated capabilities including sheet metal fabrication, PCB assembly, and environmental testing.
