Best wholesale supplier for mini PC CMOS batteries?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for the best wholesale supplier for mini PC CMOS batteries. Our shop has been getting a lot of requests for these mini PCs, and I've noticed that the CMOS batteries tend to die out sooner than expected. I'm looking for a supplier that offers good quality batteries at a reasonable price, and ideally, one that has a reliable RMA process in case of any defective units. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I highly recommend checking out Digi-Key. They tend to have a great selection of CMOS batteries for mini PCs at competitive prices. Their bulk pricing is decent, and I've found their shipping to be quite fast, which is a big plus when you're running a repair shop and need parts quickly. Additionally, their customer service is responsive if you ever have to deal with an RMA situation. I’ve had very few returns with them, but when I did, they made the process very straightforward. Definitely worth a shot!
I've had mixed experiences with Jameco Electronics. While they do carry a variety of CMOS batteries, I've noticed that sometimes their stock can be inconsistent, which can be frustrating. Pricing is usually okay, but not the best I've seen. Just make sure to check their return policy, as I've had some issues with defective batteries in the past. It might be worth it to look around for alternatives before making a final decision.
