Corporate History Continued

In July 2002, The increasing sophistication of portable electronics and the growth in demand for smart batteries inspired a core team of employees to build their own business focused solely on the design and development of intelligent batteries. This team negotiated a buyout of the smart battery business. Inspired Energy is comprised of the talented professionals, capital equipment, assets and intellectual property developed over the previous seven years of operations in smart batteries.

In August of 2004 we broke ground on our new factory in Newberry Florida. Throughout the fall of 2004 we all pitched-in to help build our new home & in January 2005 we moved into our new, custom-built factory.

Our product range & production capabilities continued to grow to meet the demand. We expanded our factory facilities 2006 & introduced a 2nd shift in 2007.

As Lithium Ion cell technology continued to expand, Inspired Energy took advantage of the new high power density cells to create a new range of products: our “P” Series featuring high current discharge.

In 2012, Inspired Energy celebrated 10 years in business as an independent company. Our client base has now grown to over 3,500 customers in more than 65 countries worldwide. Our product ranges continues to grow with more than 80 standard battery models to choose from & a full range of supporting charging systems.

In 2014 we plan to continue our expansion into a new factory that we intend to build immediately adjacent to our existing premises.

Since we developed the concept in 1995, our standard products have been copied, but our powerful combination of knowledge, experience and dedication maintains Inspired Energy’s position as the leader in the development and production of smart battery systems far into the future.

We remain the ONLY company to design, build and ship all our products here in our own factory in the USA. We do not send any of our production offshore for assembly because we believe in maintaining FULL control of our manufacturing process.

If you want tech support, we can put you in direct contact with the person who designed the board or the plastics. There is no better source to answer your queries than this.

By working closely and openly with our clients to understand product needs and business goals, we will always provide superior performance and the highest value portable power products and solutions while guaranteeing personalized service, quick response and expert advice.
