USB-C convenience • Safety • Long cycle life • OEM/ODM for smart locks, sensors, and cameras
Introduction
The rise of smart home technology — from wireless sensors to smart locks, cameras, and thermostats — has created a new demand for reliable and easily rechargeable batteries. Type-C lithium batteries have emerged as a preferred choice for smart home OEMs, offering universal charging convenience and high energy efficiency.
To explore pack options and chemistry choices (e.g., Li-ion, LiFePO4 battery lines) or discuss custom packs for your device, PKNERGY provides end-to-end OEM/ODM services.
Why Type-C Lithium Batteries Fit Smart Homes
Smart home products are often compact, continuously connected, and expected to run for long durations without frequent battery changes. Integrating a Type-C interface directly into lithium batteries provides several key benefits:
- Universal charging standard: Users can charge with any USB-C cable.
- Quick and safe recharging: Faster charging compared to Micro-USB or DC pin inputs.
- Longer cycle life: Ideal for continuous-use devices like cameras and smart sensors.
- Compact and aesthetic: Simplifies design for sleek consumer electronics.
