High density lithium battery solutions for portable camcorders and mini cameras

As portable camcorders and mini cameras become increasingly compact, intelligent, and multifunctional, power system design has emerged as a critical aspect of product development. Modern applications — ranging from personal content creation and action recording to smart surveillance and wearable imaging devices — require a power source that is not only lightweight and space-efficient, but also stable, safe, and reliable under a variety of operating conditions.

Technical Requirements in Mini Camera Power Design

Unlike traditional imaging equipment, modern mini cameras demand much more from their internal power supply. The limited internal space calls for batteries that are ultra-thin yet maintain high energy density. Meanwhile, devices often run multiple modules simultaneously — such as image sensors, processors, wireless transmitters, and infrared detectors — which places considerable demand on battery output performance and thermal management.

Key design challenges include:

• Form Factor Constraints: Batteries must conform to tight, irregular spaces, often requiring thicknesses below 4mm and custom shapes to match device structure.
• Long Operational Time: End users expect at least 2–3 hours of continuous HD recording, even in compact consumer-grade products.
• Electrical Stability: Fluctuations in voltage during peak power loads can impact image quality or disrupt wireless streaming.
• Environmental Durability: Devices may be used in high-temperature, high-humidity, or vibration-prone environments, requiring batteries with strong mechanical integrity and protection features.

MOTOMA‘s Lithium Polymer Battery Solutions

MOTOMA’s advanced lithium polymer battery series is specifically engineered to meet the demanding power requirements of portable camcorders and compact imaging devices. Developed with a focus on precision, adaptability, and safety, these battery solutions enable product designers to push the limits of miniaturization and functionality without compromising on performance.

Ultra-Thin, Customizable Designs

MOTOMA offers lithium polymer cells with thicknesses as low as 0.9mm, supporting custom geometries including curved, L-shaped, and semi-circular designs. This allows precise adaptation to complex internal layouts of modern mini cameras.

High Energy Density

With gravimetric energy density up to 620Wh/L, MOTOMA cells provide extended device operation even in restricted form factors. A typical cell can support continuous 1080p/4K video recording for over two hours on a single charge.

Stable High-Rate Discharge

Designed for synchronized operation of image sensors, processors, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules, and auxiliary electronics, MOTOMA batteries offer consistent voltage output under medium-to-high discharge currents.

Integrated Safety Circuitry

Built-in protection mechanisms include overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and thermal protection, ensuring battery safety in mobile and outdoor applications.

Optional Smart Battery Management

Support for custom Battery Management Systems (BMS) with I2C, SMBus, or UART communication protocols, enabling intelligent power monitoring and device-level integration for smart camera platforms.

Application Scenarios

MOTOMA’s lithium battery solutions are widely adopted across multiple mini camera segments, including:

• Wearable Cameras (e.g., police body cams, life logging devices)
• Action Cameras (e.g., cycling, skiing, motorbike recorders)
• Smart Surveillance Devices (e.g., Wi-Fi baby monitors, portable IP cams)
• Compact Dash Cams
• Miniature Inspection Cameras used in industrial or medical settings
