NIMCIS 3C: Check, Charge, Clean up

10 October 2025

Defence cannot afford to wait for lengthy development processes. That’s why Elfa combines a flat organisational structure with a strong R&D department and European production capacity. This enables us to quickly improve prototypes, free up resources immediately, and deliver reliable solutions that meet the specific needs of military operations. Defence organisations also turn to Elfa with specific questions about batteries.

A question from the Marine Corps

“How do you determine the condition of a battery?” This was the question the Dutch Marine Corps asked Elfa. It turned out to be a challenge to accurately assess the condition of the batteries used in the NIMCIS communication system. We were tasked with analysing, charging, and evaluating these batteries.

With specially developed equipment, the State of Health of batteries can now be determined. At a glance, it becomes clear whether a battery is still fit for operational use, suitable only for training, or should be decommissioned.
The project was named 3C: Check, Charge, Clean up.

Reliable energy for every mission
