Metal Battery Case Sizing & Customization Guide

How to RFQ a steel / sheet-metal battery enclosure for prismatic LiFePO4 packs. BattCrate supplies standard enclosure classes and made-to-drawing custom cases. Published pages do not list unverified outer dimensions — size is confirmed per drawing and order.

1. Pick the series class

Pack Standard enclosure listing
4S 280/314 Ah (12.8 V) BC-ENC-001
8S 280/314 Ah (25.6 V) BC-ENC-002
16S 280/314 Ah (51.2 V) BC-ENC-003
4S 105 Ah-class (12.8 V, LF105 format) BC-ENC-004
Anything outside the above BC-ENC-005 Custom

280/314 Ah cells share a thickness class (~71.7 mm) but brand outlines differ — enclosure fit is confirmed per cell model.

2. What “standard” still needs confirmation

Even on standard SKUs we confirm before order:

  • Internal layout (e.g. flat vs 4×2 for 8S)
  • Compression / end plates
  • BMS mounting position
  • Terminal position and type
  • Openings / breaker / display window (esp. 16S)
  • Colour / surface finish / silkscreen

Sheet thickness, external/internal mm, and weight are confirmed per drawing and order on our listings because we do not publish unverified measurements.

3. Custom enclosure RFQ (BC-ENC-005)

Send at least:

  1. Dimensioned drawing or sketch (external + internal criticals)
  2. Cell model and S/P configuration
  3. Terminal exits and high-current path
  4. BMS / display / breaker space
  5. Material preference (if any) and finish
  6. Quantity

We review cell fit and assembly access against the drawing before quotation. Lead time is subject to written order confirmation after drawing approval.

4. Kit tiers (optional)

Enclosure-only, enclosure + BMS accessories, or enclosure + cells can be quoted as kit tiers — same mechanical confirmation rules apply.
