Energizer Lithium Batteries Safety and Performance Guide

Have you ever experienced the frustration of a remote control suddenly failing, toys stopping abruptly, or your beloved camera shutting down at the most crucial moment? These annoying incidents often trace back to one small but critical component - batteries. But how much do you really know about the batteries you use?

Imagine capturing breathtaking outdoor scenery with your digital camera, only to have ordinary batteries fail to meet extended shooting demands. Frequent battery changes not only inconvenience you but may cause you to miss precious moments. The Energizer L91 lithium battery was specifically engineered to solve this problem.

As a 1.5V battery, it serves as a perfect replacement for alkaline AA batteries in any AA-powered device. However, its true potential shines in high-drain applications such as CD players, digital cameras, flash units, wireless microphones, and high-performance toys.

Energizer L91 lithium batteries offer significantly higher energy density than alkaline batteries, delivering more consistent and prolonged power output. This means your digital camera can capture more photos, your CD player can enjoy longer music playback, and your wireless microphone maintains more reliable audio transmission.

Most importantly, Energizer L91 lithium batteries maintain stable voltage output even under heavy loads, preventing sudden voltage drops that could compromise device performance or cause damage.

Safety stands as Energizer's fundamental commitment and the core principle behind lithium battery design. Understanding that battery safety impacts every user, Energizer prioritizes safety above all else, investing heavily in research and employing advanced manufacturing processes to create the most reliable lithium battery products.

Energizer lithium batteries undergo rigorous testing that far exceeds industry standards, including:

• Reverse polarity testing: Simulates incorrect battery installation to ensure no short circuits or explosions occur.
• Forced discharge testing: Evaluates battery performance under excessive discharge conditions.
• Charging testing: Assesses non-rechargeable batteries when accidentally charged.
• Direct short circuit testing: Examines battery behavior when contacting metal objects.
• Crush testing: Measures battery integrity under physical compression.
• Impact testing: Evaluates battery durability when subjected to shocks.
• Vibration testing: Simulates transportation and usage conditions.
• Water immersion testing: Assesses battery performance when submerged.
• High-temperature storage testing: Examines battery stability in elevated temperature environments.

Beyond these exhaustive tests, Energizer lithium batteries incorporate multiple safety mechanisms including overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection, and short circuit protection.

To ensure safe and efficient use of Energizer lithium batteries, please observe these important precautions:

1. Avoid mixing different battery chemistries (e.g., lithium and alkaline) as this can cause capacity imbalance and increase leakage risks.
2. Never mix old and new batteries due to differences in internal resistance and voltage.
3. Store batteries properly to prevent contact with metal objects that could cause short circuits.
4. Only recharge batteries specifically labeled as "rechargeable."
5. Understand that battery life varies based on device power consumption, environmental temperature, and usage patterns.
6. Recognize that battery capacity (measured in mAh) decreases at higher discharge rates.
7. Store batteries in cool, dry places to maximize shelf life (10-15 years at room temperature).
8. Use proper battery testers with load capabilities for accurate assessments.
9. Seek immediate medical attention if a battery is swallowed.
10. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Energizer lithium batteries demonstrate several superior technical features:

• Higher open-circuit voltage (1.75-1.8V) that stabilizes under load without damaging devices
• Excellent low-temperature performance due to organic electrolytes unaffected by cold
• Lighter weight without compromising performance
• Optimized internal structure for maximum efficiency at high discharge rates
• Built-in PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) protection that temporarily activates during overheating

While lithium batteries carry higher production costs than alkaline batteries due to materials and construction, their superior performance often results in lower cost-per-capacity in high-drain applications.

Energizer provides comprehensive quality guarantees, covering device damage caused by battery defects (excluding cases where non-rechargeable batteries were charged). The company maintains strict environmental standards, having eliminated added mercury and phased out cadmium-containing rechargeable batteries.

As an industry leader with over a century of experience, Energizer continues to innovate, delivering safer, more reliable, and higher-performance power solutions. Energizer lithium batteries represent the culmination of this technological expertise - a trustworthy choice for consumers seeking exceptional performance, safety assurance, and peace of mind.
