Navitas Systems LLC

Navitas Systems LLC, a leader in comprehensive energy storage solutions, was formed in 2011 with the merger of MicroSun Innovative Energy Storage Solutions and MicroSun Electronics, and the acquisition of lithium battery company A123 Systems’ Government Solutions Group, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 2019, East Penn Manufacturing– one of the world’s leading battery manufacturers—acquired majority interest in Navitas Systems. Today, we engage in the research, design, development, and manufacture of advanced lithium cells and energy storage products and systems for both commercial customers and U.S. Government/military customers. We produce both small and large format lithium batteries for a range of high power and high energy applications; battery management systems with custom hardware/firmware and communications; chargers and inverters; and power management systems.

I want to welcome you to Navitas Systems. As you dive into our web site, I trust you’ll find that we are passionate about making rugged, purpose-built advanced batteries.

When you look at the landscape of battery companies, on one end there are large cell manufacturers who are pushing their respective battery chemistry regardless of what the application is. And on the other end are small battery companies who simply resell battery cells and systems made by others.

Navitas is unique in that: First, we have in-house R&D capabilities and are on the forefront of designing new battery chemistries; second, we have the best systems engineers to design these advanced cells into robust battery products and systems; and third, we operate one of the most flexible automated production lines for manufacturing battery cells and battery systems.

We utilize this wide and deep engineering excellence to bring the best advanced battery systems to industrial and government/military customers for their demanding applications.  And now being a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of the largest battery companies in North America–East Penn Manufacturing–customers can be assured that we’ll be around for the long term.

We’d be honored to build a system for you.

John Sapp, President

CORE VALUES

Customer Intimacy

We sit “on the same side of the table” as our customer. By not having an agenda to “push” a particular chemistry, we work collaboratively and together iterate on what’s the best solution. With that comes mutual trust, and the outcome is the best solution, time after time.

Value Innovation

Leverage the brainpower of the R&D scientists and battery engineers gained from our acquisition of the A123 Systems Government group—and combine that with our long-established relationships with that subset of best battery cell providers in the world—to create compelling, cost-effective, and highly differentiated solutions for our customers.

Speed with Accuracy

Because our company’s focus is on tough energy challenges, naturally our customers have an acute urgency. Our organization is architected to identify, design, and deliver the highest quality solution in the minimum amount of time, fulfilling our upfront commitments. The trust we’ve earned speeds commerce, and both our customers and our company win as a result.

Competitiveness, Quality, & Fiscal Sustainability

Invest in the infrastructure which ensures we’re designing, making, and testing our products for maximum performance, life, and safety. Earn a suitable return on our investments through fair-for-all pricing, enabling us to reinvest in the business and be there for our customers for the long-term.
