Lithium-Ion Battery Solutions for AI Cameras | Custom Power for Smart Surveillance

AI-powered cameras are transforming surveillance, construction monitoring, traffic analysis, agriculture and industrial automation. As these edge-computing devices integrate powerful processors, multiple sensors and real-time analytics, the lithium-ion battery system behind them becomes a critical design element. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

PKNERGY provides custom lithium-ion battery packs for AI cameras, helping OEMs build reliable, long-life and safe products for both indoor and outdoor environments.

1. Why AI Cameras Require Advanced Battery Systems

Modern AI cameras typically integrate components such as:

Edge AI chipsets (NPU or GPU)
High-resolution CMOS image sensors
Infrared LED night-vision modules
4G, 5G or Wi-Fi connectivity
Motorized PTZ modules
Thermal or ToF sensors

These components generate dynamic and sometimes high power loads. A well-designed lithium-ion battery pack ensures:

Reliable operation during power interruptions
Continuous off-grid monitoring for remote installations
Stable voltage output for AI inference
Long working hours for mobile and outdoor deployments

2. Core Battery Requirements for AI Cameras

Chemistry options:
- NMC for high energy density
- LiFePO4 for long cycle life and high safety
Common voltage platforms: 7.4V, 11.1V, 12.6V, 14.8V
Discharge capability: 2A to 10A continuous, up to 20A peak
Cycle life: 500 to 2000 cycles depending on usage
Optional smart communication: SMBus or I²C for BMS data and SOC monitoring

Through customized engineering, PKNERGY balances size, weight, capacity and cost according to each project’s requirements.

3. Common Pain Points for AI Camera Manufacturers

Voltage drop during peak loads affecting AI processing
Thermal challenges due to processor heat and outdoor temperature
Limited internal space for batteries in compact camera housings
Weight restrictions for pole-mounted or mobile devices
Inaccurate SOC estimation causing sudden shutdowns

To overcome these issues, PKNERGY optimizes cell selection, structural design, BMS calibration and system integration.
