A battery, or, as it is also called, a battery, is a mini-power station that converts a chemical reaction. The output is electric energy, designed to power a variety of devices and devices: watches, lights, radios, children's toys and much more.
The officially registered first battery was created in 1798 by the physicist A. Volt (he built the "volt pole"). However, the existing archaeological finds allow us to conclude that the effect of the battery was known to mankind 2,000 years ago. But back to the official story. From the distant 1798 to the present, batteries have come a long way. Now produced batteries of various shapes and sizes, electrical parameters, they differ in their chemical basis.
One of the most well-known companies in the field of battery production is the Energizer company. Batteries with this logo are world famous. The mentioned company has made a huge contribution to the history of the development of current sources. In 1989, alkaline alkaline AAAA batteries and the world's first lithium AA batteries were launched. Energizer holds a leading position in environmental projects aimed at eliminating the use of mercury in the manufacture of batteries. In 2003, the first Energizer appeared on the market - AAA
size lithium-based
batteries . Lithium technology is recognized as the most durable. The main sizes of current sources from Energizer are AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V batteries. The products of this company can be divided into four classes: Ultimate Lithium, Maximum, Plus and Alkaline. Let's consider them a little more in detail.
Alkaline
(alkaline) batteries work stably at low temperatures, have a high charge capacity, low leakage rate and long shelf life. Only Energizer types are AA and AAA.
Plus class current sources are manufactured using the innovative PowerSeal technology, which is characterized by a charge saving of up to 10 years. Such a long time allows you to be sure that the batteries will not let you down at the most inopportune moment. Elements of the following types are known: AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V.
Maximum batteries are manufactured using the PowerBoost technology and are the most durable among the Energizer alkaline batteries, they last 70% longer. Shelf life of this species is also up to 10 years. Available in all 5 sizes.
Ultimate Lithium is the pearl of Energizer. The batteries of this class are rightfully considered the most durable lithium cells in the world. The service life of these sources exceeds the alkaline performance by 11 times. Duration of storage - up to 15 years. Three times lighter than alkaline batteries. Reliably operate at temperatures from –400 to +600 degrees Celsius. They have constructive protection against leakage. Only the following types are produced by Energizer: AA, AAA and 9V.
How much do Energizer batteries cost? The price of the indicated batteries depends on the selected class. For example, the cost of one AA-size cell will be as follows: alkaline - about $ 0.5, Plus - $ 0.75, Maximum - $ 1, and Ultimate Lithium - about $ 15.
