Maxell introduces a zero-mercury, zero-lead added silver-oxide cell; reducing environmental impact while maintaining current product-life levels
Maxell Europe Limited, the battery and data storage products announces the introduction of an environmentally advanced silver-oxide cell that successfully reduces the mercury and lead in the cathode material to zero, while maintaining a product-life comparable to conventional silver-oxide cell products. The new cell will be available from June 2009 and Maxell plans to replace all of its silveroxide cells with the new zero-mercury, zero-lead added type by early 2010.
To mark the distinction between the Mercury Free Silver Oxide Batteries and standard Silver Oxide Batteries, Maxell have stamped the Mercury Free batteries with an Hg 0% design registered logo.
