PKNERGY lithium battery solutions for TPMS tire pressure monitoring sensors in smart vehicles
PKNERGY lithium battery solutions designed for intelligent TPMS sensors in modern vehicles.

Introduction

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) have become a critical part of modern vehicle safety, providing
real-time tire pressure and temperature data to ensure stable driving performance and improved fuel efficiency.
As vehicle manufacturers continue integrating advanced safety and smart features, the importance of a reliable,
long-lasting power source inside each tire-mounted sensor becomes increasingly significant.

Lithium batteries now play a central role in powering TPMS thanks to their high energy density, long cycle life,
and dependable electrical performance. PKNERGY provides advanced lithium battery solutions engineered
specifically for intelligent vehicle sensors, supporting long-term stability and accuracy. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

With years of experience in
custom Li-ion polymer battery
design and pack integration, PKNERGY helps automotive OEMs and Tier-1
suppliers develop safer, smarter TPMS solutions for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and micro-mobility
applications.

Why Lithium Batteries Are Ideal for TPMS

A TPMS sensor is compact, sealed, and operates continuously in a challenging environment. The battery must
therefore excel in multiple aspects:

1. Long Service Life

TPMS sensors often operate for 5–10 years without replacement. Lithium batteries—with excellent capacity
retention—offer the necessary long-term durability, ensuring continuous monitoring throughout the tire’s
lifetime.

2. Stable and Reliable Voltage

TPMS sensors require a stable power supply to transmit accurate pressure and temperature data. Lithium batteries
provide a smooth, flat discharge curve, guaranteeing consistent performance from the beginning to the end of
service life.

3. Compact and Lightweight Design

Since TPMS sensors are extremely compact, only small-format batteries such as lithium coin cells, micro
cylindrical cells, or slim lithium polymer cells can be used. PKNERGY’s high-density micro batteries fit
perfectly into tight TPMS housings without affecting weight balance or installation.

4. Low Self-Discharge

TPMS sensors operate intermittently to conserve power. Lithium batteries’ low self-discharge ensures the sensor
remains functional even after periods of inactivity, seasonal temperature changes, or long-term storage.
