The Philippines is currently undergoing a massive structural shift in its energy and transportation sectors. As an archipelagic nation comprising over 7,000 islands, the country faces unique energy challenges, including some of the highest electricity rates in Southeast Asia, frequent grid instability, and extreme vulnerability to tropical storms. To address these vulnerabilities, the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) has mandated aggressive renewable energy targets, aiming to increase the share of clean energy in the national power mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. At the heart of this green transition is the rapid adoption of advanced energy storage systems, driven primarily by high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
In addition to grid modernization, the Philippine government's Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) is spearheading the replacement of traditional diesel jeepneys with modern electric jeepneys (e-jeepneys) and electric trikes (e-trikes). This nationwide shift towards e-mobility is creating an unprecedented demand for reliable, high-discharge cylindrical lithium-ion cells that can withstand tropical heat and heavy daily usage.
With Sichuan Changhong New Energy's newly operational manufacturing base in Chonburi, Thailand, Philippine businesses can source premium lithium-ion cells with duty-free or highly preferential tariff rates under the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). This significantly reduces import costs and lead times compared to shipping from East Asia or Western markets.
In metropolitan areas like Manila, Cebu, and Davao, public transportation is transitioning to electric drive systems. E-jeepneys and e-trikes require robust battery packs composed of high-quality cylindrical cells like the 21700 and 18650 form factors. The high energy density of NCM (Nickel Cobalt Manganese) chemistry, coupled with high continuous discharge rates (such as the 50A and 70A capacities offered by Changhong’s 21700 series), allows these public utility vehicles to cover long routes and carry heavy passenger loads without frequent recharging. Furthermore, the mechanical stability of cylindrical cells provides superior resistance to the vibrations and shocks typical of Philippine road conditions.
Off-grid electrification is crucial for the development of remote islands in provinces like Palawan, Mindoro, and Samar. Hybrid solar-battery microgrids are rapidly replacing expensive and carbon-intensive diesel generators. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, specifically in the 26700 format, is highly favored for these microgrids and residential solar ESS due to its exceptional thermal stability, long cycle life (over 3,000 cycles at 80% DoD), and safety under high-temperature tropical environments. By utilizing LFP battery packs, local communities can secure reliable, 24/7 clean electricity, fostering economic growth and disaster resilience.
The expansion of 5G network coverage by major telecommunications players like Globe, Smart, and DITO requires robust backup power at thousands of cell sites nationwide. Traditional lead-acid batteries are heavy, space-consuming, and fail quickly in hot climates. Telecom operators are actively upgrading to lithium-ion battery packs, which offer a smaller footprint, lighter weight (ideal for rooftop towers), faster recharge times, and the capability to operate efficiently at higher ambient temperatures without active air conditioning, saving significant operational energy costs.
Founded in October 2006, Sichuan Changhong New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Changhong Holding Group (one of the World’s Top 500 Brands). As a national high-tech enterprise, we integrate research and development, smart manufacturing, and global sales of a comprehensive range of alkaline batteries and advanced cylindrical lithium-ion batteries.
We are a publicly listed enterprise in China (Stock Code: 920239), recognized among the Top 100 Chinese Battery Companies, and serve as the Vice Chairman Unit of the China Battery Industry Association. Our commitment to technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing has earned us the title of National Specialized, Sophisticated, Unique, and New "Little Giant" Enterprise.

Our product lineup is specifically optimized to address the environmental and operational challenges of the Philippine market. Standard consumer lithium batteries often fail prematurely due to high ambient temperatures and humidity. To prevent this, Changhong New Energy employs advanced thermal management and gas-release safety valves in our cylindrical cells, ensuring long-term reliability.
For example, our Low-Temperature NCM 18650 cells are highly demanded in cold-chain logistics operations in cities like Pasig and Davao, where temperature control is vital for agricultural exports. Meanwhile, the LFP 26700 series provides the ideal chemical stability required for high-cycle solar energy systems installed in coastal resorts and remote barangays, where salt-spray exposure and heat are common.
Furthermore, our high-rate 21700 cylindrical cells deliver the rapid power burst required by industrial power tools used in the booming construction sectors of Metro Manila and Clark Freeport Zone, as well as the demanding flight profiles of agricultural drones mapping rice fields in Central Luzon.
