ADVANTAGES

The AIR-ALKALINE batteries are Primary Batteries depolarized by the oxygen of the air, with an arrangement of active components typical of Alkaline Dry Cells that offers important advantages over other AIR-DEPOLARIZED batteries.

DISCHARGE

High and constant voltage (1.35 v./cell) throughout the entire life of the battery. This voltage is 20% higher than voltage given by other technologies.

ENERGY DENSITY

Exceptional energy density compared with other technologies (377 Wh./Kg., 676 Wh./dm³). This means a very high reduction in total volume to dispose of.

BEST COST-EFFICIENCY

CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries have the best energy cost you will find in the market.

TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED

CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries are technically innovative designed to power the most recently developed safety critical appliances.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

CEGASA AIR-ALKALINE batteries protect the environment. They are Mercury and Cadmium free with less waste disposal volume.

RELIABILITY
