Our Company History
Spectrum Batteries,
Inc. is a privately owned company. Founders
and co-owners are James E. Dutchak and Linda L. Dutchak. We were the FIRST independent value added remarketer
of lithium technology batteries in the world. The market for battery operated down hole tools was in its infancy.
Jim Dutchak assisted the cell manufacturers in the development of cell technology for this new market.
◊ December 1989 commence operations
as Spectrum Data Products, Inc. in Calgary, Alberta Canada marketing and fabricating batteries for use in down hole oil field
applications. ◊ July 1992 a new company, Spectrum Batteries Inc., was incorporated in Texas and began operation in Katy, Texas.
◊ 1993 the Canadian company changed it’s name to Spectrum Batteries Inc. ◊ October 1992 Spectrum Batteries
(USA) rented a facility in Katy, Texas and operated there until July 1996 when we moved to Fulshear, TX.

Our Employees
Managing Director and Founder: James E. Dutchak ( Nov 1933
- Dec 2011) Jim founded the company
in 1988 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada when he discovered a need in the oilfield services industry for an independent battery
pack/module fabricator. Jim worked in the oil field supply business in technical and management postions for 40
years before forming SBI. Prior to Spectrum Batteries there was no independent battery business catering to the
developing market in the miniaturization and computerization of down hole oilfield tools. Jim's goal was to offer battery
users a choice of all available cells on the market without being biased towards one cell manufacturer or another. Jim's
knowledge of oilfield instrumentation enabled him to suggest to customers the best solution for their battery pack/module
needs. Those who knew Jim aprpreciated his business wisdom. Click here to see those business insights.
