Driven by the dual forces of the global energy transition and the continued proliferation of smart devices, the primary lithium battery market is undergoing a profound value restructuring. Underlying this steady growth, performance across a wide temperature range is rapidly evolving from a "nice-to-have" feature into a "must-have" requirement for market entry. The global market for primary lithium batteries has been expanding steadily in recent years. Power Glory—a key supplier of power solutions for micro-electronic systems—has observed that as application scenarios shift from consumer electronics toward industrial and automotive-grade sectors, the demand for battery reliability in extreme temperatures has risen sharply. Conventional CR-series coin cells typically operate within a range of -20°C to 70°C; while this sufficed for the era of consumer electroni...

In the height of summer during the “Three Fires” period, the heat is overwhelming. As road surface temperatures climb above 60°C, tires are facing unprecedented challenges under the weight of rolling wheels—tire pressure rises rapidly, rubber ages faster, and the risk of blowouts increases sharply. Statistics show that approximately 46 percent of traffic accidents on highways are caused by tire failures, with blowouts alone accounting for nearly 70 percent of those cases. Behind every statistic lies a solemn warning about driving safety. Against this backdrop, TPMS—the Tire Pressure Monitoring System—is evolving from an “optional feature” into a “must-have” that can save lives. Mandatory Adoption of TPMS: A Comprehensive Upgrade to Safety Measures Since 2020, China has been implementing mandatory TPM...

In the midst of the surging tide of the Internet of Things (IoT) era—from smartwatches and wireless earbuds to smart healthcare and industrial sensor tags—IoT devices are permeating every corner of our lives at an unprecedented pace. However, when we discuss the smart features of these sophisticated devices, we often overlook a key question: What powers them to keep running continuously while maintaining such a compact form factor? Unlike traditional consumer electronics, IoT devices have unique requirements: they must be compact enough to be embedded in various carriers, thin and lightweight enough to conform to irregular surfaces, and feature flexible design compatibility to accommodate diverse application scenarios. More importantly, these devices often require continuous power for months or even years, yet there is virtually no space or possibility for batter...

If you take apart a new energy vehicle and a traditional gasoline-powered car and count the CR2032, CR2450, and other single-use lithium-manganese button batteries inside them one by one, you’ll notice an interesting phenomenon: new energy vehicles contain more built-in button batteries than gasoline-powered cars. Each additional battery is related to “electrification.” 1. Which components require button cell batteries? Whether dealing with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles or new energy vehicles (NEVs), there are two systems that almost invariably rely on button cell batteries. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Vehicles equipped with direct TPMS feature a sensor embedded in each tire; this sensor contains a button cell battery to power pressure and temperature data collection as well as RF transmission, requiring a total of fo...
