Custom Battery Solution for Portable Surveillance Devices
How a Tailored Lithium Battery Enabled Reliable All-Day Field Monitoring
Security Devices · Custom Battery
Project Background
I am a project manager at a security equipment company. We were developing a new portable surveillance device designed for demanding outdoor environments, where reliability, runtime, and safety are critical.
The device integrates camera modules, infrared night vision, and wireless transmission, making battery performance a key factor in overall system success.
Power Challenges in Portable Surveillance
- All-day operation: Continuous outdoor monitoring for long hours
- High peak load: Camera, IR night vision, and data transmission running simultaneously
- Compact structure: Lightweight and easy for single-person deployment
- Safety & stability: Zero tolerance for failure in field conditions
Standard off-the-shelf battery packs could not meet these requirements. Runtime, size, or discharge stability always became a compromise.
PKNERGY Custom Battery Solution
When we contacted PKNERGY, their team didn’t push standard products. Instead, they analyzed our device’s real power-consumption profile and proposed a fully custom lithium battery solution.
The focus was not only capacity, but also peak discharge stability, thermal control, and long-term reliability.
Battery Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Cell Configuration | 3 × 3.7V cylindrical lithium cells |
| Minimum Capacity | 1500mAh |
| Max Cell Voltage | 4.2V |
| Max Discharge Current | 2A |
| Max Charge Current | 1A |
The battery pack was optimized for size, weight, and heat dissipation, ensuring seamless integration into the compact surveillance device.
Field Test Results
- Over 5 hours of continuous night-vision surveillance
- Stable operation in low-temperature outdoor environments
- Fast recharge during short mission breaks
The battery became a core enabler of reliable field operation.
Why Custom Batteries Matter
This project reinforced a key lesson: choosing the right battery partner is as important as choosing the right components.
PKNERGY provided more than a battery — they delivered engineering insight, manufacturing consistency, and long-term reliability for portable security and surveillance devices.
