Duracell Introduces Battery With Powercheck

09 Nov, 2009, 11:01 am IST | Siddharth Bhatia |

Remember those cool batteries that showed just how much power is left? Reminds us of the gameboy/RC car days. It seems like Duracell has gone retro mode, and announced a brand new battery with that same feature.

Its new Ultra Advanced POWERCHECK battery offers consumers the ability to know exactly how much power is available in each battery. The POWERCHECK feature is a gauge located on the battery that is activated by simply pressing two white dots on the cell. Consumers can use the POWERCHECK to evaluate a battery's readiness to be used in a device and if necessary, transfer usage to lower-drain devices, for full battery use before discarding.

"Duracell believes that it's smart to never waste a drop of power," said Rick June, Duracell vice president and general manager, North America. "Ultra Advanced with POWERCHECK is power that you can see, and it demonstrates Duracell's commitment to develop products that build on the brand's strong heritage of reliability and trusted performance. With POWERCHECK, the days of guessing whether a battery has enough power are in the past."
