We were excited to welcome representatives from Wellspring Hydro to our battery cell manufacturing facility this week.

CEO Terri Zimmerman and CTO Andrew Paulsen led the discussion and gave our guests a closer look at the people, processes, and innovation behind our new cell plant, as well as how we are improving U.S. national security by onshoring battery cell manufacturing for drones and UAS here in North Dakota.

Badland Batteries is building UAS battery cells right here in Fargo, North Dakota. We start from the very foundation of raw materials, then design and manufacture cells to your exact spec.

What does that mean for your company? It means you can secure your supply chain with battery cells actually made in the U.S. It means working with our dedicated lab team to dial-in a cell chemistry that’s a perfect match for your platform and operational needs. It means working with a team that focuses on drones and UAS battery cells (all battery cells are NOT equal, especially cells for drones).

Reach out to today at [email protected] and see how we can begin the process of onshoring your battery supply chain. We can handle every aspect of the process for you, from sourcing raw materials, manufacturing battery cells, to expertly designed battery packs (including PCBA), to testing and certification, battery pack assembly, warehousing, and shipping.

We had the honor of welcoming North Carolina Congressman Pat Harrigan to the Badland Battery cell manufacturing plant last week.

We appreciate all his support for reindustrialization of critical manufacturing capabilities, such as batteries for UAS, and it was great to get to walk him through what that support equates to in action – real manufacturing capabilities being built here in the U.S.
