Industry Background
Weather monitoring systems—from compact IoT weather stations to professional anemometers, rain gauges, and multi-sensor climate nodes—play a vital role in agriculture, disaster prevention, climate research, and smart city infrastructure.
These devices are typically deployed in remote outdoor locations where grid power is unavailable, requiring battery systems with long endurance, high reliability, and strong resistance to environmental extremes.
Key Pain Points in Weather Monitoring Power Systems
1. Continuous, uninterrupted operation
Weather data must be collected 24/7 with minimal downtime. Frequent battery replacement increases maintenance cost and risks data gaps.
2. Harsh outdoor exposure
Devices are exposed to UV radiation, rain, humidity, wind, salt spray, and wide temperature variations for years.
3. High peak current from wireless communication
LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, GSM, and BLE modules create short but high current bursts during data transmission.
4. Compact enclosure constraints
Weather sensors often use small housings that limit battery size and shape flexibility.
5. Compatibility with solar-assisted charging
Many systems rely on micro solar panels, requiring batteries with stable charge acceptance and long cycle life.
