Smart Water & Electricity Meters

Reliable LiMnO2 Battery Solution for Smart Water & Electricity Meters in Ukraine

A PKCell battery pack and a water & electricity meter

Background / Challenge

The customer in Ukraine focuses on water and electricity meter applications.  At the European Metering Exhibition in Italy in 2024, she left only a business card and did not provide clear technical requirements. Despite limited information, PKCELL maintained proactive, long-term follow-up.
In January 2025, the customer showed initial interest, and later in July 2025, officially sent an inquiry for batteries used in smart meters. Initial testing confirmed that battery performance met expectations.
However, during assembly, the customer reported difficulties in welding the solder tabs themselves, which could affect production efficiency and consistency.

Solution

PKCELL responded quickly and arranged samples of CR1/3N lithium batteries with solder tabs for testing.
When the assembly issue was identified, our engineering team immediately:
  • Evaluated the customer’s assembly process
  • Proposed a customized solder tab solution supplied directly by PKCELL
  • Optimized the tab design to improve weldability and ease of installation
After re-sampling and re-testing, the updated solution significantly improved assembly efficiency and fully met both technical and production requirements.

Why PKCELL?

  • Stable and reliable battery performance for smart metering applications
  • Customized solder tab solutions tailored to customer assembly needs
  • Fast sample preparation and efficient technical support
  • Professional communication and long-term follow-up
  • Strong application understanding beyond standard battery supply

 

From exhibition contact to final solution confirmation, PKCELL demonstrated patience, professionalism, and a customer-oriented approach, laying the foundation for long-term cooperation.
