In the hustle and bustle of daily life, a group of fathers who loved taking their kids outdoors for activities noticed a recurring issue: their children's toys required a constant supply of disposable batteries. Recognizing the environmental impact and finding traditional rechargeable batteries too cumbersome, they envisioned a convenient and eco-friendly solution.
The Beginning
In 2017, these visionary dads founded Shenzhen Empty Technology Co., Ltd. They began their journey by developing SZEMPTY AA and AAA NiMH USB batteries that could be charged using a Micro-USB cable. SZEMPTY's initial product aimed to provide a more sustainable alternative to disposable batteries while maintaining convenience.
Product Iteration
By 2020, SZEMPTY team had refined their product, introducing AA and AAA 1.5V lithium rechargeable batteries with a TYPE-C port. The voltage was upgraded from 1.2V to 1.5V, making the batteries compatible with a broader range of devices. Additionally, the capacity increased from 1000mAh to 1700mAh, and charging time was drastically reduced from 5-8 hours to just 1-2 hours.
Going Global
In 2021, the company established its international brand, SZEMPTY, and began selling on Amazon. They also expanded their product line to include new battery models such as D, C, and 9V, catering to more diverse energy needs.
Milestone Achievements
2022 was a landmark year for SZEMPTY, as they sold a cumulative total of one million batteries worldwide. They also developed new models, CR123A and CR2, further broadening their product range.
Continued Expansion
By 2023, SZEMPTY's product lineup had expanded to 15 different models, including 14500, 14250, 10440, 18650, 18350, 18500, 21700, and 26650. The company celebrated another milestone, with total sales reaching two million batteries.
Future Prospects
In 2024, SZEMPTY continues to grow, focusing on expanding sales and developing new products to meet the evolving needs of consumers.
