Badland Batteries
"Real performance you can trust."
U.S.-made lithium-ion batteries engineered specifically for drones, eVTOLs and UAS platforms, built by the Packet Digital team in Fargo, ND.
Badland Batteries designs, assembles and tests high-performance lithium-ion battery packs for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), drones and eVTOL platforms. The brand is a product line of Packet Digital, an established North Dakota electronics manufacturer with years of experience building drone batteries and charging systems. Badland Batteries are engineered, assembled and tested in the United States at the company's Fargo, North Dakota facility, with printed circuit boards, battery management systems and battery packs all produced domestically to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
The off-the-shelf product line targets high energy density combined with high power output, enabling longer flight times, heavier payloads and decreased charging time. All packs are third-party UN38.3 certified for safe transport, and the company emphasizes industry-leading cycle life; Packet Digital cites a battery reaching 1,000 cycles with roughly 11 percent degradation in customer testing. Packet Digital has manufactured custom batteries for demanding UAS customers including Anduril Industries (Ghost Group 2 sUAS) and Lockheed Martin (Indago 4 UAS). Current catalog offerings include 6S and 12S smart battery packs in 17,000 mAh and 23,000 mAh capacities.
The company also operates a domestic battery cell plant initiative. Badland Batteries is led by CEO Terri Zimmerman.
