Press Release

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Energizer will be unveiling a new battery to power future devices. The Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic battery will offer OEMs greater design flexibility, while providing greater run times and enabling smaller devices.

Zinc Air Prismatic batteries will offer high energy density as well as a thin form factor. Product innovations to be unveiled to OEMs at CES have resulted in the highest energy density of any consumer portable power solution (either disposable or rechargeable) with up to three times (3X) more runtime compared to similarly sized alkaline or lithium ion batteries.

Energizer will be showcasing the new and innovative battery to OEM designers who are raising the bar for smaller, lighter and thinner devices. The new form is the result of several years of work with OEMs to refine this battery technology for use in a variety of portable consumer electronic devices.

Media and OEM designers interested in learning more about Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic at CES should call Stevie Lewis at 314-852-3293 to schedule a briefing in the Energizer meeting room in the North Hall of the Convention Center.
