our history
- 2014 - Own brand "LITE↯BLOX"
At the beginning of the year, our sister company WeightWorks engineering The decision was made to plan our first own product series in the field of lithium-based starter batteries.
Contrary to the trend at the time, the aim was to develop a technology-leading product with a focus on quality and safety that could replace the standard OEM starter battery 1:1 and thus significantly reduce weight without significantly reducing the everyday benefits.
In January 2014, initial tests will be carried out on relevant LiFePO4 battery cells for this purpose and a housing concept with a CFRP foam sandwich structure will be developed in parallel, which reduces influencing factors such as heat and mechanical stress to a minimum and thus significantly increases the service life of the lithium cells:
From the very beginning, WeightWorks engineering has focussed on in-house development and consistently refuses to use existing electronic components from model making, as is common practice with relevant competitors.
The first prototypes will be sent to selected partners in professional motorsport for field tests in the middle of the year, which will confirm the concept pursued to date, so that the first LITE↯BLOX Generation "GEN1" from WeightWorks Manufaktur - Made In Germany & intended exclusively for use in motorsport - goes into small series production:
- 2018 - Foundation of LITEWERKS GmbH
In order to optimise the sales & service of the own brand LITE↯BLOXIn order to decouple the new business area of the holistic development of lightweight LiFePO4-based rechargeable batteries from the original business model, LITEWERKS engineering is established as an independent company at the new company location in Constance on Lake Constance.
As an integrated development company focussing on intelligent LiFePO4 high-current batteries, we serve the following markets in addition to our own brand LITE BLOX high performance lightweight batteries numerous Renowned customers in OEM automotive, industry and professional motorsport with customised special solutions and small series applications.
- 2020 - smart BMS with telemetry data acquisition
Market launch of our adaptive battery management system [BMS] with extensive telemetry data recording, wireless firmware updates & optional integration via the vehicle communication system [CAN- / LIN-bus].
The field data collected in this way provides a solid basis for the dedicated project planning of the most demanding applications in the automotive & mobility sector:
- 2023 - Certification according to ISO 9001
As a German manufacturer of smart LiFePO4 starter batteries with in-house development, production & customer service, we at LITEWERKS engineering consistently set high standards for all our products and only use premium components from certified suppliers.
