We provide reliable lithium battery solutions for the professional photography and videography industry, addressing critical pain points such as low-temperature capacity drop, high instantaneous current demand during continuous shooting, and strict space & weight constraints in modern camera design. Choosing the right lithium battery for camera ensures your equipment performs optimally in extreme environments.

Ufine lithium camera battery powering DSLR and mirrorless cameras in outdoor photography

Part 1. Camera power challenges in extreme & professional shooting environments

Battery Performance Degradation in Low-Temperature Conditions

Cameras operating in sub-zero environments can suffer up to 34% capacity loss at −10°C and almost complete shutdown at −40°C. Using high-quality camera lithium batteries mitigates these issues, maintaining stable voltage output even in extreme cold.

High Instantaneous Current Demand During Continuous Shooting

Professional cameras require high burst currents for rapid continuous shooting. Standard batteries may experience voltage sag under these conditions. Our lithium digital camera batteries support high instantaneous currents while preserving voltage stability.

Power Stability Requirements for Imaging Sensors & Processors

Modern imaging sensors and processors are sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Our battery packs provide stable voltage output (±0.05 V) across load cycles, enabling consistent image quality during prolonged use.

Space & Weight Constraints in Modern Camera Design

Lightweight and compact batteries are critical for portable cameras and action cameras. Our lithium camera batteries feature high energy density designs, balancing power output with minimal form factor.

Part 2. Lithium battery technologies for camera applications

High & Low Temperature Resistant Lithium Cell Chemistry

We utilize advanced lithium-ion chemistries optimized for −20°C to 60°C operation, maintaining 70–85% usable capacity at low temperatures.

Stable Voltage Output for Precision Imaging Systems

Precision camera systems require consistent voltage. Our packs maintain <0.05 V deviation under burst loads, critical for DSLR, mirrorless, and industrial cameras.

High Energy Density for Extended Shooting Time

High energy density ensures extended shooting sessions without frequent recharging. For example, the 7.4 V 4400 mAh 18650-2P2S battery can support DSLR burst shooting for up to 6 hours of continuous operation.

Safety Protection Design for Camera Battery Packs

Integrated PCM/BMS features protect against overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and thermal runaway, ensuring safety for both outdoor and industrial camera applications.

Part 3. Camera battery solution architecture

Our camera battery solution architecture ensures performance, safety, and compactness for various professional camera applications, from DSLRs to industrial imaging devices.

  • Cell Selection Strategy for Camera Applications
    We select high-performance lithium-ion cells with low internal resistance and high energy density to support continuous burst shooting and long-term storage. For example, 18650 cylindrical cells and high-capacity pouch cells are used depending on the power requirement and form factor.
  • PCM / BMS Design for Camera Power Management
    Our battery packs integrate custom PCM/BMS systems to provide overcurrent protection, voltage balancing, and temperature monitoring. This guarantees stable voltage output and prevents performance degradation under extreme conditions.
  • Mechanical Design for Compact Camera Battery Packs
    Battery packs are engineered to fit snugly into camera compartments while maintaining structural integrity. Custom casing materials provide both thermal management and mechanical protection for field use.
  • Connector & Interface Customization
    We offer flexible connector and interface options to ensure compatibility with various camera models, enabling easy installation, hot-swapping, and OEM integration.
