Battery Can: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.11 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.04 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For battery can, the drivers are material, capacity, lining, neck finish, closure type, custom print, UN rating, stacking strength — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale quotes for battery cans are scarce, so these figures are anchored to real supplier listings for very low-cost cylindrical battery components and battery-related wholesale listings that show sub-$0.10 unit pricing at 5,000-10,000+ piece MOQs. In practice, price moves most with material gauge, diameter/height, surface treatment or lining, and print/branding; the biggest real supplier routes are Chinese OEM/ODM manufacturers and marketplace trade suppliers rather than US stockists. For US-facing sourcing, landed-equivalent import pricing is the most realistic benchmark, because domestic distributors rarely publish can-body pricing separately from finished batteries
