  一、Scenario Positioning & Core Value (Addressing Off-Power Pain Points)

  Long-lasting battery-powered thermal printers with power bank charging are portable printing devices tailored for off-power or semi-fixed scenarios—such as outdoor markets, mobile retail carts, disaster relief material registration, and remote community service points. Their core functions include receipt printing, barcode labeling, and simple document output, solving three key pain points of conventional battery-powered printers:

  Short battery life:Ordinary battery models (1500-2500mAh) can only print 150-250 sheets per charge, failing to meet all-day operation needs (300-500 sheets) for high-frequency scenarios like weekend outdoor markets;

  No emergency power supply:When the battery is exhausted and there is no fixed power source (e.g., in remote areas), the device shuts down, disrupting work continuity (e.g., interrupting customer checkout or material registration);

  Slow recharging:Traditional models take 2-3 hours to fully charge via a fixed adapter, making it difficult to quickly resume use during short breaks.

  This printer achieves three core values through "high-capacity battery + low-power design + power bank compatibility":

  Ultra-long battery life:Equipped with a 3000-5000mAh high-density lithium-polymer battery, it can print 300-500 sheets per full charge (based on 80mm-length receipts), covering all-day operation for most off-power scenarios;

  Power bank emergency charging:Supports 5V/2A power bank charging via a Type-C interface, enabling 30 minutes of fast charging to print 80-120 sheets—solving the problem of sudden power failure in the field;

  Low-power sustainability:With an ultra-low standby power consumption of ≤3mA and an intelligent 休眠 (sleep) mode, it can stand by for ≥120 hours without printing, avoiding unnecessary battery drain during idle periods.

  二、Core Performance Parameters (Focus on Long Battery Life & Power Bank Adaptability)
