What Neware does

Neware (深圳市新威尔电子有限公司) is a Shenzhen-based private precision-instrument manufacturer founded in 1998 that designs, produces, and sells battery testing systems and laboratory automation solutions across the full battery technology stack — from coin cells and material research to large-format EV power batteries and stationary energy storage. Its core technology centers on multi-range battery cyclers with voltage coverage from 5V to 1000V and current from microamps to 1000A, accuracy up to 0.02% FS with 1000Hz sampling on the CT-9000 flagship, integrated environmental chambers for temperature-controlled testing, and energy-feedback topologies (CE-6000 series) that recover up to 95% of discharge energy. The product portfolio spans five cycler families (CT-4000, CT/CE-5000, CE-6000, CT/CTE-8000, CT-9000), environmental chambers (WGDW/MGDW/WHW/MHW/MFB), formation and grading systems for prismatic/pouch cells, battery assembly equipment, BTS testing software (versions 7.5.4 through 9.2), LIMS laboratory information management, and two mobile apps — Neware Smart (IoT control) and Neware Research Selection (procurement).

The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of instruments, supported by recurring BTS software licensing/updates, LIMS subscriptions, and consumables revenue through its ecommerce platform. The Go-to-market is direct sales: 19+ named account managers handle enterprise and academic leads via phone, email, WeChat, and QQ, supplemented by lead generation at industry exhibitions such as CIBF and by academic sponsorships (e.g., Journal of Energy Chemistry author meetings). Distribution spans global enterprise sales with on-site overseas technical support for calibration and repair, alongside an e-commerce storefront targeting SMB/university buyers.

The served customer base spans battery manufacturers (formation/grading/EOL testing), EV OEMs and pack makers, consumer electronics 3C battery producers, energy storage system integrators, power tool manufacturers, quality inspection institutions, and — importantly — university and research laboratories that drive long-tail demand across coin-cell and material research. The company reports a cumulative installed base of 550,000+ devices across 60,000+ customers, ISO 9001 certification, and 1,000+ patents and software copyrights as of the input period. Revenue and headcount details are not publicly disclosed.
