As global demand for lithium batteries continues to grow across energy storage, electric vehicles, golf carts, forklifts, marine applications, and other electric mobility markets, more companies are looking to establish local lithium battery assembly and manufacturing capabilities.

However, building a battery factory is much more than purchasing battery cells and production equipment. A successful project requires the right factory layout, production process, equipment selection, battery design, quality control system, technical expertise, workforce training, and reliable supply chain.

HY Energy provides complete lithium battery SKD and CKD factory solutions, helping international partners establish local battery assembly plants and progressively develop their own manufacturing capabilities.

Our services can cover the entire project from factory planning and equipment procurement to production process design, SKD/CKD product supply, technical support, process training, worker training, commissioning, and ongoing production support.

Whether you want to start a small battery assembly operation or build a larger-scale lithium battery manufacturing plant, HY Energy can develop a solution based on your target market, investment budget, production capacity, and product requirements.

What Are Lithium Battery SKD and CKD?

SKD and CKD are two practical approaches for companies that want to establish local battery production.

What Is SKD?

SKD (Semi Knocked Down) means that the battery is supplied in partially assembled form. Key battery components are prepared and tested by HY Energy, while final assembly and selected manufacturing processes are completed in the customer’s local factory.

Depending on the project, an SKD solution may include:

LiFePO4 battery cells
BMS
Battery modules
Busbars and connection components
Battery enclosure
Cables and wire harnesses
Connectors
Display and communication components
Chargers
Other battery accessories

SKD allows customers to enter local battery assembly with a relatively lower initial investment and simpler production requirements.

It is particularly suitable for companies that want to quickly establish a local battery business before gradually increasing their manufacturing capabilities.

What Is CKD?

CKD (Completely Knocked Down) means that the battery is supplied as individual components or production parts, with a higher proportion of assembly and manufacturing completed locally.

A CKD project can include:

Battery cells
BMS
Battery enclosure components
Busbars
Cables and connectors
Insulation materials
Protection components
Mechanical components
Electronic components
Production fixtures
Testing equipment
Manufacturing tools

The customer completes more production processes locally according to the agreed manufacturing process.

Compared with SKD, CKD provides greater flexibility for local manufacturing, workforce development, production customization, and localization of the supply chain.

HY Energy can help customers determine whether SKD, CKD, or a combination of both is the most suitable approach for their market.

A properly designed factory layout is essential for efficient production and quality control.

HY Energy can provide technical recommendations for the layout of key production areas, such as:

Raw material storage
Cell inspection and sorting
Module assembly
Battery PACK assembly
Welding area
BMS installation
Electrical testing

Finished product inspection
Packaging
Finished goods warehouse
R&D and sample production areas

The factory layout can be designed according to the customer’s available building, production capacity, equipment configuration, and future expansion plans.

3. Battery Production Equipment Selection & Procurement

Choosing the right equipment is one of the most important parts of establishing a battery factory.

HY Energy can help customers select production and testing equipment according to their manufacturing requirements.

Depending on the project, equipment may include:

Cell sorting equipment
Battery module assembly equipment
Laser welding machines
Busbar welding equipment
BMS programming equipment
Battery testing equipment
Insulation testing equipment
Charge and discharge testing equipment
Aging testing equipment
EOL testing systems
Assembly tools and fixtures
Production line equipment
Laboratory and R&D equipment

Instead of simply supplying a list of machines, HY Energy focuses on matching equipment with the actual battery production process.

This helps customers avoid unnecessary equipment investment and build a production line that can be operated efficiently.

4. Lithium Battery Production Process Design

A battery factory requires a standardized production process to maintain consistent quality.

HY Energy can provide technical guidance covering the complete battery assembly process, including:

Cell inspection → Cell sorting → Module assembly → Welding → BMS installation → Electrical connection → Battery enclosure assembly → Programming → Testing → Aging → Final inspection → Packaging

The actual process can be customized according to the battery type and production technology.

Process documentation can also be developed to help local production teams establish standardized operating procedures and quality inspection requirements.

5. SKD & CKD Battery Product Supply

For companies that are not yet ready to manufacture every battery component locally, HY Energy can provide SKD and CKD battery products.

This allows customers to gradually build local production capabilities.

For example:

Stage 1 – SKD Assembly

HY Energy supplies partially assembled battery components and products.

The customer performs final assembly, testing, and packaging locally.

↓

Stage 2 – Advanced SKD

The customer takes over more assembly and testing processes.

↓

Stage 3 – CKD Production

More components are supplied separately, and more manufacturing processes are completed locally.

↓

Stage 4 – Localized Manufacturing

The customer gradually develops local sourcing, production, testing, and technical capabilities.

This phased approach allows businesses to expand their manufacturing capabilities according to market demand rather than making a large investment from the beginning.

6. Battery Manufacturing Technology Transfer

One of the most important parts of our factory solution is technology transfer.

HY Energy can provide technical knowledge and production experience to help customers establish their own battery manufacturing capabilities.
