Summer: Peak Season for Tire Blowouts—How Power Glory Provides TPMS “Early Warning”
Summer: Peak Season for Tire Blowouts—How Power Glory Provides TPMS “Early Warning”
In the height of summer during the “Three Fires” period, the heat is overwhelming. As road surface temperatures climb above 60°C, tires are facing unprecedented challenges under the weight of rolling wheels—tire pressure rises rapidly, rubber ages faster, and the risk of blowouts increases sharply. Statistics show that approximately 46 percent of traffic accidents on highways are caused by tire failures, with blowouts alone accounting for nearly 70 percent of those cases. Behind every statistic lies a solemn warning about driving safety.
Against this backdrop, TPMS—the Tire Pressure Monitoring System—is evolving from an “optional feature” into a “must-have” that can save lives.
Mandatory Adoption of TPMS: A Comprehensive Upgrade to Safety Measures
Since 2020, China has been implementing mandatory TPMS installation requirements for passenger vehicles in phases, and by 2021, full coverage had been achieved for all newly manufactured passenger vehicles. The group standard “Technical Specifications for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems,” released in 2025, sets forth more detailed provisions regarding the technical requirements and testing methods for TPMS. At the same time, the market has placed higher demands on the accuracy, stability, and service life of TPMS—with more precise alarm thresholds, more responsive systems, and reliability under high-temperature conditions becoming mandatory requirements.
The battery is one of the key factors determining whether a TPMS sensor can operate reliably over the long term. This “power source”—hidden inside the sensor—must provide a stable power supply across an extreme temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and deliver power with pinpoint accuracy despite the constant vibrations experienced while the vehicle is in motion, enabling the sensor to collect tire pressure data in real time and accurately transmit warning signals.
With Two Decades of Dedication, Power Glory Creates the “Wide-Temperature Heart” for TPMS
Faced with the stringent requirements for TPMS button cells, Power Glory Battery Tech(Hubei) Co., Ltd. has provided its own solution.
Power Glory specializes in the R&D, production, and sales of lithium micro-power sources and leads the domestic market in production capacity for lithium-manganese button cells. After more than two decades of dedicated development, it has become a renowned enterprise in China’s lithium micro-power industry. It is a National High-Tech Enterprise, a National “Specialized, Refined, Unique, and Innovative” (“Little Giant”) Enterprise, and one of the drafting and formulating entities for the national standards on primary cells. As one of the world’s manufacturers with the most comprehensive range of product categories, models, and specifications for primary lithium micro-power sources, Power Glory’s products are widely used in consumer electronics, smart meters, smart healthcare, the Internet of Things (IoT), and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS).
In addition, Power Glory is actively expanding its presence in the TPMS market. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Yichang Power Glory Co., Ltd., is a national-level “Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative” (“Little Giant”) enterprise and has obtained IATF 16949 automotive-grade quality system certification. More than 60% of the company’s products are exported overseas, where they have earned the trust of its clients through stable performance and reliable quality. 
In response to the extremely demanding requirements that TPMS places on sensor batteries, Power Glory has successfully developed a series of wide-temperature-range TPMS batteries. This series of batteries provides a stable power supply across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, meeting the demands for low power consumption, long battery life, and high reliability in vehicles operating in extremely cold or hot conditions and during extended periods of use. The wide-temperature-range design is the result of systematic optimization of the battery material system—core materials such as high-temperature-resistant sealing gaskets and organic electrolytes have all undergone targeted screening and adaptation. Every aspect, from safety performance to electrical performance adaptability in extreme environments, has been rigorously validated at every stage.
In the Name of “Life-Saving Alerts,” We Deliver “Safety Protection”
The tragedy of summer tire blowouts can be forewarned—and even prevented. Power Glory fully understands that a small battery carries more than just a steady supply of power for TPMS sensors; it also holds the trust of countless travelers counting on it to ensure their safe return home.
Looking ahead, Power Glory will continue to focus on technological innovation and iteration in wide-temperature-range, high-power, and high-safety lithium micro-power sources. With superior products, we will help TPMS systems deliver more accurate and timely “life alerts,” using technological innovation to provide a protective umbrella for TPMS “life alerts.”
