SunLike Energy Technology

What SunLike Energy Technology does

SunLike Energy Technology Co., Limited is a privately-held Chinese manufacturer of valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Shenzhen (operating subsidiary Shenzhen Zhonghui Energy Technology Co., Ltd. / 深圳众辉能源技术有限公司), with a Hong Kong regional office supporting international sales. The company produces four parallel battery families: AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, deep-cycle gel batteries using German-origin high-purity fumed silica thixotropic electrolyte, OPzV tubular gel batteries with up to 20-year design life, and front terminal (FST) AGM batteries designed for 19-inch and 23-inch ETSI telecom racks. Manufacturing is anchored by more than 5,000,000 kVAh of annual production capacity and an in-house lead plate operation that achieves 99.997% plate purity, backed by an R&D center of 100+ professional staff holding 100+ patents.

The company's commercial proposition is built around maintenance-free, long-life sealed VRLA storage for telecom network backup, off-grid solar and wind systems, UPS/EPS, and deep-cycle motive applications across more than 100 countries. SunLike complements its batteries with Powerstar LW pure sine wave solar inverters (500W-10KW) and bundles inverters, charge controllers, and solar panels for one-stop solar system sourcing, a motion it has run since 2009. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based hardware sales via direct export from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, overseas branches, and partner/distributor networks (e.g., Tim in South Africa), with marquee customers including China Mobile Telecom (2011 battery tender) and the Yunnan government project on the domestic side.

The business model is a sales-led export operation: pricing is not publicly disclosed, customers contact [email protected] for quotations, and demand generation is driven by Canton Fair participation, hosted factory visits by international delegations, and a multilingual corporate website with branded social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Pinterest. All products carry ISO, IEC, and CE certifications, with UL and SGS certifications on specific lines. The company shows no disclosed external investors, no acquisitions, no leadership changes, and no funding rounds, and its most recent verifiable corporate news dates to August 2016, limiting visibility into its post-2016 trajectory.

Core offering

SunLike Energy Technology manufactures and globally exports SunLike-branded valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries—AGM, Gel, OPzV tubular gel, and front-terminal telecom series—along with complementary low-frequency pure sine wave solar inverters. The Shenzhen-based factory produces more than 5,000,000 kVAh annually and sells directly to telecom operators, government projects, renewable energy integrators, and overseas distributors across 100+ countries.

Product overview

SunLike Energy Technology Co., Limited (深圳众辉能源技术有限公司) operates a portfolio of distinct battery product lines that together form a unified rechargeable energy storage offering rather than a single integrated software platform. The core offering consists of five parallel product families: Deep Cycle AGM Batteries (sealed lead-acid with Absorbent Glass Mat technology), Deep Cycle Gel Batteries (12V/6V/2V thixotropic gel construction), OPzV Tubular Gel Batteries (2V series with 20-year design life), and Front Terminal Telecom Batteries (FST 12V series for telecom racks). Complementing these battery families, SunLike also offers Powerstar LW Solar Pure Sine Wave Inverters (500W to 10KW) under its Solar Power Products line, positioning itself as a one-stop supplier of batteries plus companion solar power electronics used in solar, wind, UPS, telecom, golf cart, EV and emergency/security systems.
