The price and performance of lithium batteries are becoming more and more acceptable to consumers

The development trend of consumer products has quickly led to the battery industry. According to EnergyTred, the research arm of TrendForce, lithium batteries have gradually become accepted by consumers as the number of mass production increases, including mobile phone batteries and NB batteries. Lithium batteries are also used as the mainstream, and with the innovation of new materials, power lithium batteries have also successfully emerged in power tools and two-wheeled vehicles, allowing lithium cells to break through the limitations of consumer products only.

EnergyTred stated that nickel-cadmium batteries have the longest history in the secondary battery field in consumer products, but are questioned in terms of material environmental protection, and some advanced countries, including Europe, Restricting nickel-cadmium batteries can only be used for special purposes such as medical and military use. As for the use of nickel-metal hydride batteries, they were commonly used in consumer products such as digital cameras in the past. However, as the product appeal gradually developed into a thin development, the market share of nickel-metal hydride batteries gradually narrowed.

In terms of product development competition, EnergyTred said that mobile phones and notebook computers have always been the largest battleground for lithium batteries, but also due to the balance of the industry has created different modes of cooperation. In the case of cell phone batteries, the middle and low end product markets are mostly price considerations, which will make the product positioning struggle between quality and price, while higher-priced products must be developed together in the early stages of product design. To try to get components to ensure access to the supply chain, including mobile battery plants such as Ortovostok.

In the notebook computer section, batteries have become one of the important parts factories. In Taiwan, the battery assembly industry is particularly prosperous, and the supply of battery assembly is to cooperate with contract assembly plants and brand factories, so it is competitive in the industry. It is particularly important that a good customer relationship can reduce the cost of purchasing battery cores and ensure that the supply is sufficient to stabilize the customer relationship.
