Custom Lithium Battery Solutions for Smart Office Desks
Compact, safe, and long-life lithium battery packs tailored for smart height-adjustable office desks with OEM/ODM support.
1. Introduction
In today’s fast-paced work environment, smart office furniture is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Smart office desks with height adjustment, integrated lighting, USB charging, and IoT connectivity are transforming traditional workspaces into ergonomic, intelligent workstations.
At the heart of these intelligent desks lies a reliable power source—the lithium battery.
A high-quality battery ensures seamless desk functionality, from adjusting heights to powering embedded devices, while maintaining safety and long service life.
PKNERGY offers tailored lithium battery solutions that meet the unique demands of smart office furniture, supporting OEMs and project teams with
custom LiFePO4 battery packs,
Li-ion modules, and custom lithium polymer batteries designed specifically for smart desks.
2. Application Background & Power Requirements
Smart office desks often require batteries that are compact, durable, and safe.
The primary technical challenges include:
- Space constraints: Limited installation space in desk frames or under-desk compartments
- High cycle life: Frequent height adjustments throughout the day
- Safety: Protection against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and overheating
- Stable voltage: Reliable power for motors, control panels, sensors, and optional lighting or wireless chargers
Cost, efficiency, and ergonomic design are key considerations for OEMs and project managers who want to integrate battery-powered features into desks
without compromising aesthetics or user experience.

7. FAQ: Smart Office Desk Batteries
Q1: How long does the battery in a smart office desk typically last?
It depends on chemistry and usage, but Li-ion and LiFePO4 solutions from PKNERGY are designed for thousands of adjustment cycles.
With proper BMS and reasonable daily use, the pack can last for many years in an office environment.
Q2: Should I choose Li-ion or LiFePO4 for smart desks?
Li-ion (NMC) is preferred when you need compact size and higher energy density.
LiFePO4 is ideal if your priority is maximum safety and long cycle life.
PKNERGY can recommend the optimal chemistry based on your structure and budget.
Q3: Can the battery be combined with mains power?
Yes. Many smart desk designs use batteries as a backup or as an energy buffer.
PKNERGY can support hybrid configurations where the desk can run from AC power and switch to battery when needed.
Q4: Do you support custom cables and connectors for our desk motors?
Absolutely. We can design custom harnesses, connector types, and cable lengths to match your motor controllers and control panels,
simplifying assembly on your production line.
