NASA Uses Energizer Batteries in Space Shuttle

NASA engineers have used lithium batteries to replace all alkaline batteries on the latest Space Shuttle Discovery. Discovery’s flight, a mission to deliver equipment and supplies to the International Space Station, launched on July 26 with Energizer® e2® lithium batteries powering the onboard cameras and video-recorders.

Energizer e2 Lithium batteries are the world’s longest lasting AA and AAA batteries in high-tech devices, weigh one-third less than traditional alkaline batteries and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40° to 140° F, conditions where alkaline batteries would fail.

When NASA designs a Space Shuttle, weight is an issue. Every pound costs an additional $10,000.
