Each exhibition serves a different industry and regional market. Together, they give Merpower an opportunity to discuss energy storage, outdoor power, vehicle-based applications, consumer electronics, emergency backup, and customized battery projects with buyers from around the world.
Starting the Journey at Middle East Energy in Dubai
Merpower began its 2026 exhibition schedule at Middle East Energy, held from September 1–3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
At Booth P.K10, the team met customers and industry professionals interested in portable energy storage, backup power, lithium battery packs, and customized power solutions.
Conversations in Dubai reflected the practical challenges of using batteries in demanding environments. Customers wanted to understand how temperature, output power, runtime, charging methods, and device compatibility could affect battery performance.
These discussions reinforced an important principle: selecting a battery solution requires more than comparing voltage and capacity.
A suitable solution must also consider:
- The device’s normal operating power
- Startup or peak power
- Required operating time
- Charging method
- Connector type
- Working temperature
- Installation conditions
- Target market requirements
Dubai was an important starting point for understanding how portable power requirements differ across regions and applications.
Connecting With the Fishing Tackle Market in Weihai
The second stop on Merpower’s 2026 exhibition journey was CGC EXPO (Autumn) 2026, held from September 19–21 at the Weihai International Economic and Trade Exchange Center.
As an exhibition focused primarily on fishing tackle and related products, CGC EXPO brought together fishing equipment manufacturers, brands, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and other industry professionals.
At Booth E1-1619, Merpower discussed how portable lithium battery packs and DC power solutions could support compatible electronic equipment used during fishing trips.
Depending on the voltage, current, connector, and power requirements, possible applications may include:
- Fish finders
- Fishing lights
- Aerators
- Bait boats
- Underwater cameras
- Mobile phones
- Communication equipment
- Electronic fishing accessories
- Small compatible coolers
- Emergency lighting
The exhibition also provided an opportunity to understand what fishing equipment companies need from a portable power product. Buyers may consider factors such as:
- Battery size and weight
- Runtime
- Resistance to outdoor conditions
- Connector design
- Device compatibility
- Ease of carrying
- Charging options
- Product packaging
- Stable repeat supply
- OEM and ODM customization
Fishing, camping, boating, and other outdoor activities may share some power requirements, but a battery should still be selected for the specific device and operating environment.
For example, a small fishing light and a motor-driven device have very different power demands. A battery suitable for a fish finder may not be suitable for a trolling motor, bait boat, or high-power cooler without checking the full electrical specifications.
Discussions in Weihai helped Merpower better understand the practical power needs of fishing equipment brands and distributors, including how battery capacity, output, connectors, portability, and charging methods influence real-world use.
Meeting International Electronics Buyers in Hong Kong
From October 11–14, Merpower exhibited at the Global Sources Consumer Electronics Show at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong.
The show brought together international brands, importers, distributors, online sellers, and product developers looking for consumer electronics and portable power solutions.
At Booth 5C27, discussions extended beyond battery capacity. Buyers frequently asked about:
- USB and USB-C outputs
- DC output options
- Charging speed
- Connector compatibility
- Product size and weight
- Battery chemistry
- Packaging
- Private labeling
- Product documentation
- Certification
- Transportation requirements
- OEM and ODM customization
For consumer electronics buyers, a battery product must fit both the technical application and the intended sales channel.
An online retail product may require clear packaging, barcodes, user-friendly accessories, and detailed product content. A distributor may focus more on stable supply, repeat-order consistency, warranty support, and market-specific documentation.
The Hong Kong show gave the Merpower team another opportunity to discuss these requirements directly with buyers before product selection or customization begins.
Currently Exhibiting at the Canton Fair in Guangzhou
Merpower is currently exhibiting at the Canton Fair, held from October 15–19 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou.
Visitors can meet the team at Booth 19.2M05.
The Canton Fair connects Merpower with buyers from a broad range of countries, sales channels, and industries. Current discussions include:
- Portable lithium battery packs
- LiFePO4 battery options
- Outdoor DC power
- Emergency backup power
- Device-specific battery solutions
- OEM and ODM development
- Customized connectors
- Branding and packaging
- Certification and transportation documents
The Canton Fair also highlights how differently buyers approach the same product category.
Some customers begin with a specific device and need a matching power source. Others have a target capacity or product size in mind. Distributors may need a complete retail solution, while equipment manufacturers may require a battery that can be integrated into an existing product.
Understanding the company, sales channel, target market, connected device, and expected quantity helps Merpower discuss a more appropriate solution.
What We Learned From Four Exhibition Markets
The four exhibition stops represent different industries, applications, and regional markets. However, several common themes appeared repeatedly in customer conversations.
Buyers Want Batteries for Specific Applications
Most professional buyers are not simply looking for “a 12V battery” or “a large-capacity power pack.” They need to know whether the battery can operate a specific device under specific conditions.
Typical questions include:
- Does the battery voltage match the device?
- Can the output port supply enough current?
- Can it support the device’s startup power?
- How long will the device operate?
- Is the connector compatible?
- Can the battery be charged from a vehicle or solar system?
- How does temperature affect performance?
- Which charger should be used?
- What protection functions are included?
These questions cannot always be answered from capacity alone.
Different Markets Have Different Priorities
Many conversations in Dubai focused on stable power and operation in demanding environmental conditions.
Outdoor, RV, and camping buyers in Weihai discussed 12V devices, portability, vehicle charging, runtime, and practical installation.
Consumer electronics buyers in Hong Kong placed greater attention on interfaces, charging functions, size, appearance, packaging, and product documentation.
International trade buyers at the Canton Fair are also considering MOQ, certification, customization, delivery schedules, and stable repeat supply.
These differences show why one standard product or price list may not be suitable for every buyer.
Face-to-Face Communication Improves Product Matching
Exhibitions allow customers to explain their applications directly.
Instead of asking only for voltage and capacity, the Merpower team can discuss:
- What device will be powered
- How much power it uses
- Whether it has a motor or compressor
- How long it needs to operate
- Where the product will be sold
- How the battery will be charged
- Which connectors are required
- Whether custom branding or packaging is needed
This information helps both parties identify potential compatibility problems before sample testing or mass production.
For OEM and ODM projects, understanding the application is usually more useful than selecting a battery from appearance, nominal voltage, or capacity alone.
Next Stop: SEMA Show 2026 in Las Vegas
After the Canton Fair, Merpower will prepare for the final stop of its 2026 exhibition journey: SEMA Show 2026.
SEMA Show 2026 Details
- Event: SEMA Show 2026

A low-power LED light may operate easily from a small DC output. A refrigerator or pump may require a much higher current when it starts. Some devices accept a wide voltage range, while others require a regulated supply.
For this reason, a reliable battery recommendation should consider:
- Device input-voltage range
- Normal operating power
- Startup or peak power
- Daily operating time
- Number of connected devices
- Charging method
- Connector and cable requirements
- Operating temperature
- Available installation space
At SEMA, Merpower aims to discuss these practical requirements with customers developing products for vehicles, overlanding, camping, mobile work, and emergency use.

More Than a Product Display
For Merpower, an exhibition is not only a place to display completed products.
It is also an opportunity to understand:
- What customers are developing
- Which devices they need to power
- Why existing battery products do not meet their needs
- Which connectors and charging methods they use
- How products are installed
- What customers expect from packaging and documentation
- Which market requirements affect the project
Some projects may be suitable for an existing battery pack. Others may require changes to capacity, output, connector, housing, packaging, or charging method.
In each case, the discussion should begin with the application.
