Fact: demand for industrial batteries is on the rise.
According to Grand View Research, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for industrial batteries averages $6 billion. And this is likely to rise through 2027.
This owes to the rise in demand for backup power in the industrial sector, with a particular requirement for grid-level energy batteries used in power devices and high-drain applications.
Industrial by Duracell was once the household name for Duracell industrial batteries. This line of industrial batteries operates on high-drain applications like industrial remote security cameras, electric door locks and motorized blinds.
Back in 2019, Duracell renamed this line of alkaline batteries to Procell, a commitment to maintaining the same industrial premium-quality, reliable power, better packaging, and lower overall cost.
This premium battery brand is specific to the professional market, including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), governmental organizations and professional end-users.
Procell industrial batteries run on the tried-and-true Procell-Duracell battery technology, bringing in a performance boost, durability, and long-lasting battery energy.
For example, Duracell Procell batteries are designed to reduce battery to battery variability and eliminate leakage in the non-uniform load for batteries connected in parallel.
Procell Duracell industrial batteries package a distinct, alkaline power profile technology that extends battery life, increases battery safety and slashes battery replacement expenses.
Today, you will learn the following about Procell Duracell batteries:
- Quick facts about industrial Procell Duracell batteries.
- Categorization of Procell Duracell batteries (industrial product variety).
