CUSTOMER CASE STUDY

PKCELL 3.7V 9600mAh INR18650 Battery Pack
for Automatic Irrigation Systems

A German customer selected a customized PKCELL 3.7V 9600mAh 1S3P INR18650 rechargeable battery pack for an automatic irrigation machine. The battery pack combines high capacity, stable power output and a customized wired connector for integration into the irrigation equipment.

Background / Challenge

Automatic irrigation systems are increasingly used in agriculture, gardens, lawns, greenhouses and landscaping projects to improve watering efficiency and reduce manual operation.

Many irrigation controllers and automatic watering devices need to work for extended periods in locations where continuous access to mains power may not be convenient. This makes battery capacity, stable power delivery and reliable integration important considerations when selecting a rechargeable power solution.

For this project, a customer in Germany used a rechargeable battery pack for an automatic irrigation machine. The supplied solution was based on PKCELL INR18650T cylindrical lithium-ion cells configured as a high-capacity 1S3P battery pack.

Why a 3.7V 9600mAh 1S3P Battery Pack?

The 1S3P configuration connects three 18650 cells in parallel while maintaining a nominal system voltage of 3.7V. This allows the battery pack to provide higher total capacity for equipment that operates on a single-cell voltage platform.

9600mAh High Capacity
The high-capacity battery pack is designed to support extended
operation for irrigation controllers and related smart watering
equipment.
Stable 3.7V Output
The 1S3P configuration maintains a 3.7V nominal voltage while
increasing available battery capacity.
Cylindrical Li-ion Cells
INR18650T cells provide a practical balance of energy density,
rechargeable performance and compact battery-pack design.
Customized Connection
Wires and connectors can be configured according to the electrical
and installation requirements of the irrigation equipment.

Battery Requirements for Automatic Irrigation Equipment

Automatic irrigation equipment can be installed across agricultural, greenhouse, garden and landscaping environments. For battery-powered designs, engineers typically need to consider more than battery capacity alone.

  • Required operating voltage:
    The battery voltage must match the irrigation controller's electrical design.
  • Required runtime:
    Capacity should be selected according to device current consumption and operating schedule.
  • Available installation space:
    Cell arrangement and battery-pack dimensions must fit the equipment enclosure.
  • Wire and connector requirements:
    The battery connection should match the customer's PCB or device interface.
  • Charging design:
    Rechargeable Li-ion battery packs should be matched with an appropriate charging system.
