international battery shortage

There is currently a severe international battery shortage and reserve stocks have been depleted. Several leading manufacturers have had to cease production of their cells due to Coronavirus. We do not expect the situation to improve until May at the earliest. Due to our exclusive supply contract with Molicel/NPE – we are priority, and thus our supply of Molicel remains unaffected. We have also seen footage of several Chinese factories on fire, as they rush to create fake/rewrapped batteries due to the current demand. These batteries are unstable factory rejects. Please remain vigilant.
