PKCELL Customized CR123A Battery Packs Ensure Rapid Deployment for North American Safety Systems
Background / Challenge
A North American customer, specializing in home fire and water damage protection systems, faced an extremely tight deadline for exporting a large volume of their devices to the U.S. market. The challenge was heightened by a rapidly closing trade window (August 12, 2025), necessitating swift action to avoid potential tariff increases and market delays. The project's time-sensitive nature placed intense pressure on the battery supplier, requiring:
- Rapid Prototyping: Samples needed to be completed within 3 days for internal testing.
- Accelerated Production: Initial production of 6,000 sets had to be completed within 14 days.
- Logistics Coordination: All 18,000 sets needed to be delivered within 90 days to meet customs and market deadlines.
- Complex Coordination: The project demanded rapid and seamless coordination across R&D, production, and logistics teams.
