MINIATURE BATTERIES
Energizer’s miniature battery business continues to offer a full line of watch,
electronic and hearing aid batteries. Utilizing diverse chemistries such as silver
oxide, zinc air, lithium and manganese dioxide, our miniature batteries provide
long-lasting power for personal organizers, keyless car remotes, handheld
electronic games, watches, hearing aids, electronic thermometers and many
other devices. Energizer’s line of miniature batteries accounts for 4 percent of
overall company sales.
During fiscal 2001, we introduced two revolutionary zinc air hearing aid
products. Following years of research and development, we introduced in
Europe the world’s first and only “safer for the environment” hearing aid battery
that eliminates the addition of mercury. In summer 2001, we introduced the
Energizer EZChange – the world's first hearing aid battery dispenser – to
address the drawbacks of handling and changing hearing aid batteries for
elderly wearers, especially those with vision and dexterity problems.This
revolutionary dispenser eliminates the need to handle the batteries or tabs
and allows wearers to place the batteries in the hearing aid easily, quickly
and precisely every time.
Energizer remains the only U.S. manufacturer of silver oxide watch
batteries, and our world-renowned products are used by many prestigious
Swiss watch producers.
Energizer EZChange simplifies the process of handling and changing hearing aid batteries. To use the dispenser,
hearing aid wearers pull back the activator bar and rotate the easy-to-turn dial to reveal a new battery (1); then
push the activator bar forward to automatically activate the battery and slide the battery onto the magnetic arm (2);
then insert the battery in either drop-in or snap-in style hearing aids and slide the dispenser away (3).
Energizer EZChange – the world’s first
hearing aid battery dispenser – is the first
major hearing aid battery innovation in
more than 30 years. Packed with premium
Energizer hearing aid batteries, this all-in-one
dispenser system works with every style of
hearing aid to eliminate the need to handle
hearing aid batteries and provide precise
placement every time.
Energizer small electronics batteries are
precision engineered to power a broad array
of modern devices – from household health
devices like glucose monitors, blood pressure
cuffs and digital ear thermometers to keyless
remote entry systems, hand-held electronic
devices and the latest games and toys.

Energizer Rechargeable NiMH round cell
batteries are a formidable match for the most
advanced, high-drain devices including digital
cameras, personal digital assistants and
palmtop computers, hand-held games and
portable CD players. Combining both
economic and environmental value, these
high-capacity cells deliver exceptional power
per charge with up to 1,000 recharges.
Energizer e2Photo Lithium batteries
meet the challenge of today’s high-tech,
power-hungry digital cameras and flash units.
Our Energizer e2 Photo AA battery – the
world’s longest-lasting lithium AA battery –
weighs about one-third less than ordinary
batteries but lasts several times longer in
high-drain devices like digital cameras and
delivers three times more flashes with a
consistent, quick recycle time.
