Custom energy storage system manufacturer.
And everything that happens after.
A US energy storage system assembler and integrator for residential and commercial/industrial ESS programs — pack assembly, BMS controller box build, testing, Class 9 reverse logistics, RMA processing, and refurbishment. ISO 9001 + 14001 certified, NMSDC MBE qualified. Lotus, Canton, Michigan, USA.
Batteries Come Back. Most OEMs Don't Have a Plan for What Happens Next.
Battery programs scale fast — until a pack fails in the field and nobody owns the return path. Reverse logistics, diagnostics, module-level repair, refurbishment, end-of-life processing: most OEMs don't have the infrastructure, and building it is expensive.
Dead Batteries Need a Home
Returns, warranty failures, and end-of-life units need a hazmat-compliant destination for diagnosis, repair, or disposal. Offshore assembly partners don't do reverse logistics — and stacking dead batteries in your warehouse is a margin and safety problem.
Most Contract Shops Aren't Built for This
Pack programs cut across modules, BMS controllers, thermal management, harnesses, and enclosures. Most contract shops cover one or two. Fewer handle reverse logistics and refurbishment alongside forward assembly.
Domestic Content Isn't Optional
Federal energy programs, state procurement rules, and enterprise buyers are converging on domestic. Your lifecycle partners need US facilities and qualifications that hold up under audit.
Assembly, Service, and What Comes Back.
Lotus does integration work — taking components from multiple sources, assembling them, testing them, and supporting them when they come back. Battery programs are the same workflow pointed at a new market.
Our Canton, Michigan, USA facility has Class 9 hazmat handling, 12 truck wells, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification, and NMSDC MBE qualification, with reverse-logistics workflow already running across industries. For BMS designers and ESS OEMs, the lifecycle infrastructure is already in place.

From First Assembly Through Field Returns.
One facility covers the full battery program lifecycle — module and BMS receiving, pack assembly, testing, domestic logistics, and reverse logistics when units come back.
Incoming Inspection
Pre-welded modules, BMS boards, and structural components received and verified to spec. Class 9 hazmat receiving.
BMS Controller Box Build
Controller board assembly, enclosure integration, connector work, and wire harness builds for BMS designers who need a partner for the physical build.
Pack Assembly & Integration
Module-to-pack assembly for residential and commercial/industrial ESS programs — pre-welded modules in, BMS, thermal management, wiring, and enclosure integrated into finished packs under one roof. Cell-to-module welding is performed by your cell supplier or a partner specialist; we take it from there.
Testing & Validation
Electrical test, charge/discharge cycling, and thermal validation. Full documentation for traceability and regulatory filings.
Warehousing & Class 9 Logistics
Domestic storage and Class 9 shipping to deployment sites or distribution channels. 12 truck wells sized for battery pack freight.
Reverse Logistics & Refurbishment
Field returns route to our Canton depot — Class 9 intake, diagnostics, module-level repair, second-life refurbishment, or end-of-life processing under ISO 14001.
Metro Detroit Is a Battery Corridor.
Michigan’s battery ecosystem — automotive OEM electrification, dedicated pack operations, and a specialist supplier base — runs through this corridor. Canton sits inside it, within trucking range of the suppliers, distributors, and end customers driving domestic ESS programs.
For programs that need reverse logistics, Class 9 handling, and depot repair already running, the location is a structural advantage. Backed by warehousing and ISO 9001 from the same building.

Industry Partners
Battery programs are integration work plus everything that happens after. 31 years of contract manufacturing discipline covers the assembly side; reverse logistics, depot repair, and RMA cover what comes back. For BMS designers and ESS OEMs, the lifecycle facility is ready.
Forward assembly. Field returns. One facility.
Reverse logistics built for battery programs
Class 9 hazmat handling, domestic intake, and module-level diagnostics in the same facility that assembles the packs. Returns become infrastructure, not an afterthought.
Domestic, ISO-certified, NMSDC MBE
Federal energy programs, domestic content mandates, and supplier diversity rules converge on the same qualifications. Lotus is ISO 9001 + 14001 certified and NMSDC MBE.
