Lithium Battery Seals

Lithium Battery Seals

Hermetic Seal Technology (HST) has been a trusted provider of custom battery sealing solutions since 1994, specializing in high-performance lithium battery seals. Our proprietary, lithium corrosion-resistant glass is engineered to effectively isolate lithium electrolytes such as LiMnO₂, Li/SO₂, and Li/SOCl₂ from environmental contaminants. This significantly reduces corrosion and extends battery shelf life, even in extreme temperatures and harsh chemical conditions.

We manufacture robust hermetic seals using high-conductivity pin materials, exotic alloys, and both standard and custom lithium-compatible glass formulations like Cabal 12, TA-23, and Babal. Our expertise includes bonding glass to stainless steels and pure metals such as titanium and medical battery seals, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding applications. Whether sealing into an eyelet or directly into a battery lid, our precision-engineered components are built for long-lasting performance.

With advanced welding techniques, including resistance and laser welding, HST offers flexible integration of eyelets into battery lids. Each component undergoes rigorous hermeticity testing, including 100% leak checks to confirm seal integrity down to 1 x 10⁻⁸ cc/sec helium. From concept to production, we deliver dependable custom battery sealing solutions tailored to the evolving needs of lithium battery seals, while serving to diverse industries such as medical, military, aerospace, and energy storage.

Production Capability

We have the ability to handle orders from ten parts to millions of parts.

We can also do sample parts HST can help you with free hermetic seal design and development to insurance you have a reliable and robust glass to metal seal.

Glass-to-Metal Seal Advantages

HST hermetic seals are hermetic (leak – tight) to isolate lithium batteries from external moisture and foreign contaminants to ensure long battery life
HST glass seals can resist extreme temperature and pressure variations while maintaining hermeticity. Our specially formulated glass materials have high corrosion resistance to lithium electrolytes eliminating glass corrosion which reduces shelf life.

Our “Clean-Seal” technology ensures the high quality of glass-to-metal parts that are free from oxidation and chemical residue that can effect welding and material corrosion resistance
