Is there more value in the humble battery that meets the eye? From Business Enquirer’s
conversation with Martin Almond, After Market Sales Director at Procell (by the Duracell
company), we say: yes!
First invented in 1800 by the Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta, the battery has
come a long way thanks to innovative battery manufacturers such as Procell.
In an industry first, Procell has developed a dual portfolio battery for professionals, its solutions
primarily supporting the medical, hospitality, infrastructure, industrial, and security sectors.
For context, an infusion pump, hand sanitiser, or defibrillator in a hospital could be using a
Procell battery, so too a door key pad or security camera in a hotel, or a cable tester in a
manufacturing plant.
“Procell batteries are the hidden hero behind a variety of applications, helping to keep services running smoothly,” explained Martin.
Procell’s dual portfolio features its innovative ‘Intense’ and ‘Constant’ range.
The Intense range has been specifically engineered to last longer in high drain professional
devices that require a high amount of power to deliver precise pulses.
Meanwhile, Procell’s Constant range of batteries have been innovated to offer long lasting
performance in low-drain professional devices. These devices, for example smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors, require a power output profile built to reliably handle consistent use over a
long period, whilst also providing long lasting performance.
Whilst embedding its Procell range of batteries is a priority for the business, it is also on a
mission to enhance its offering by innovating in sustainability and value added technology.
