RS Components introduces Procell industrial batteries from Duracell

RS Components has introduced the Duracell Procell range of alkaline batteries, designed to replace the company’s industrial range used by OEMs and professional end users.

The series offers higher capacity and longevity than Duracell’s previous industrial batteries of comparable size and format, resulting in fewer battery replacements and savings on associated operating costs.

The Procell range comprises alkaline–manganese dioxide batteries in five standard formats.

The PC1500 and PC2400 are 1.5V batteries in AA (LR6) and AAA (LR03) formats respectively, and are suitable for industrial and professional remote control, sensor, security keypad and wireless mouse applications. The PC1400 and PC1300 are 1.5V batteries in C (LR14) and D (LR20) formats respectively, for use in sensors, security keypads and flushometers.

The PC1604 is a standard 9V (6LR61) battery for applications in carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, multimeters, medical devices and microphones.

The manufacturer says it has prioritised battery capacity, longevity and corrosion resistance for the Procell range. The AA, AAA, C, D and 9V versions offer nominal capacities of 3016mAh, 1236mAh, 8100mAh, 15476mAh and 673mAh respectively.

The batteries incorporate applicable parts of IEC 60086-1, IEC 60086-2, IEC 60086-5, ANSI C 18.1M Part-2, and the EU battery directive. Their operating temperature range spans from –20°C to 54°C.

RS is shipping the Procell range in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
