Five common misunderstandings of B-end customers when purchasing primary lithium batteries

2025 05/04

With the growing demand for battery products in industries such as security, smart instruments, and industrial automation, primary lithium batteries have become the first choice of many B-end equipment manufacturers due to their high energy density and long life. However, faced with a wide variety of products with varying quality on the market, purchasing managers are often prone to misunderstandings during the selection process, resulting in equipment failures or subsequent maintenance costs.
 
This article will combine Jiangmen Hongli Energy Co., Ltd.'s years of experience in serving security and industrial customers to analyze the five common misunderstandings of B-end customers when purchasing CR123A batteries, and provide professional advice to help customers make more prudent choices.

Misunderstanding 1: Only look at the capacity value, ignoring the discharge platform and consistency
Many low-priced products attract customers through "false capacity", but ignore whether the actual discharge platform of the battery is stable and how consistent different batches are. Hongli Energy CR123A batteries use high-purity lithium and imported materials, with real capacity and stable and consistent voltage output, effectively avoiding the problem of frequent restarts or inability to wake up the device due to voltage fluctuations.
 
Myth 2: Ignoring the self-discharge rate affects the long-term standby of the equipment
Although some low-cost batteries perform well in the early stage, they have a high self-discharge rate, and the power drops significantly after a few months, affecting long-term applications. The self-discharge rate of Hongli Energy's CR123A battery is controlled at **≤1%/month**, which is suitable for equipment that requires long standby time, such as smart water meters and smoke detectors.
 
Myth 3: Not paying attention to temperature adaptability, resulting in low temperature/high temperature failure
Some security or industrial equipment has extreme working environments, and the battery must support wide temperature operation. Hongli Energy CR123A batteries have passed strict temperature cycle tests and are widely used in outdoor cameras, underground instruments and other scenarios to ensure stable power supply in extreme environments.
 
Myth 4: Ignoring certification and transportation compliance brings subsequent export risks
Many overseas customers have strict requirements for product certification. Hongli Energy products have passed multiple international certifications such as UL, UN38.3, RoHS, REACH, etc., to ensure that customers are compliant and worry-free during transportation, bidding and overseas project implementation.
 
Misconception 5: Choosing a small factory without traceability and weak quality control
High-quality battery manufacturing requires automated production, batch traceability, and a complete testing system. Hongli Energy produces more than 40 million batteries annually, and the production line is equipped with an MES system. The entire process from raw materials to shipment is traceable, ensuring the stability and controllability of each batch of products for customers.
 
Faced with increasingly professional market demands, B-end customers need to make rational judgments and pay attention to the performance of the entire life cycle in battery procurement. Hongli Energy will continue to uphold the concept of "quality is trust" and is committed to providing reliable and professional primary lithium battery solutions to global customers.
