Energizer Rolls Out New Lithium Battery

Energizer Holdings Inc. produced the industry’s first AAA lithium battery in January.

It also has improved the performance of its line of AA lithium batteries, designed to last up to seven times longer in some digital cameras versus alkaline batteries. Because of the increased use of high-tech and digital devices, sales of AA lithium batteries have increased 25% in the last year. Energizer is the only battery manufacturer to put the power of lithium in a 1.5-volt cell.

St. Louis-based Energizer Holdings Inc. manufactures batteries, flashlights, and shaving products.
