Of course, Elfa Elementenfabriekalso supplies the famous Duracell batteries. This also includes the Procell batteries, packaged in bulk and formerly known under the name Duracell Industrial. As to its market share, Duracell is the world’s predominant producer of consumer batteries.
They were the first to introduce high-quality alkaline batteries on a large scale, but they are also manufacturers of specialized and rechargeable NiMH batteries. The history of the Duracell alkaline batteries goes back to 1965 and since that time Elfa has known Duracell as a brand that stands for quality, reliability and innovations.
The first alkaline batteries were specially designed for Kodak, that was looking for a power source for its energy-intensive Instamatic camera with built-in flash. Duracell supplied AAA batteries for this. In 1965 the brand name Mallory was replaced with Duracell, with the emphasis of consumer-focused programmes and products. The high-quality batteries are supplied directly to Agfa, Kodak and Polaroid and to manufacturers of new portable devices such as tape recorders and walkie-talkies. In 1969 Duracell participated in the Apollo 11 mission and became the first battery on the moon.
Duracell produces alkaline batteries in common sizes, such as AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V. But it also supplies fewer common formats such as AAAA (predominantly for penlights and blood glucose meters) and J format batteries (for hospital equipment and photo flashers). Besides, Elfa supplies a series of ‘button cell batteries’ of Duracell with zinc-air, silver oxide and lithium chemistry. These are mostly used in calculators, watches, hearing aids and other small (mostly medically related) devices. The Duracell NiMH batteries (Duracell Recharge Ultra) are rechargeable and are the batteries that last the longest per charge. They can be recharged 400 times. Furthermore, they are charged beforehand, so you can use your devices right away, and will remain charged for up to 12 months when not in use.
As mentioned before, Duracell also made products for the professional market under the name Duracell Industrial . These products were characterized by the fact that they were specifically aimed at professionals. Expert knowledge about professional devices has therefore been used for the development of these batteries, as well as longer life and technical expertise aimed at the B2B market. Below is an example of these batteries.
