I'd be *very* surprised if Orion are big enough to actually make their own batteries. Its an utterly gargantuan investment to set up a factory to make the cells themselves.
One issue we've got at work is that everywhere is rapidly running out of manufacturing capacity to make the damn things. And no one can/will pay to set up a new factory. (And even the small players in this business are massive)
