Best wholesale supplier for office desktop CMOS batteries?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to source CMOS batteries for office desktops in bulk. We go through quite a few of them each month, and I'm not just after the lowest price — quality and RMA policies are also really important to me. Right now, I’m using a local supplier, but their prices are creeping up and I’m not thrilled with the quality. I need a reliable source that won't break the bank. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding pricing and customer service.

I highly recommend checking out Battery Junction. I’ve been sourcing our CMOS batteries from them for about a year now. Their prices are competitive, and I've found their quality to be top-notch. They also have a solid RMA policy, which has saved me a couple of times when a batch was faulty. Plus, their customer service is responsive, which is a huge plus when you need to sort out issues quickly. Definitely worth a look!
I’ve had mixed results with various suppliers. One that I used for a while was Digi-Key, but their pricing can be a bit high for bulk orders. If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, you might want to consider sourcing from AliExpress, though I’d advise being cautious about the quality. It’s hit or miss, and I’ve had to deal with a few returns. Make sure to look for sellers with good ratings. Good luck with your search!
