Energizer® (USA) first introduced its AA lithium batteries in 1992. Since then it has become known for providing best-in-class power for a wide array of applications and now holds a Guinness World Records title to prove it.

With great confidence in the product's unique ability to maintain high-quality power for an extended period, the company was eager to validate their assertions through scientific analysis and as a result, hopefully set a Guinness World Records title for Longest-lasting AA battery.    

After rigorous testing of its product against others available in the market, Energizer’s battery performance in numerous real-world situations from digital cameras and toys to lighting and audio devices outlasted the competition across the board. 

Once testing was complete, the data was sent to Guinness World Records for verification and it was confirmed that the Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ AA battery was in fact, the longest-lasting!

"Energizer® batteries have powered many amazing moments in history, and we're not stopping now," said Lori Shambro, Vice President, Global Marketing at Energizer Holdings, Inc.  

"We're delighted to add a Guinness World Records title to our legacy, which will be as long-lasting as our AA batteries."  

The company revealed the record-breaking news on Tuesday 4 December with a press release and short video that can be found across its digital platforms worldwide and now that it’s holiday season, the announcement couldn’t have come at a better time.

Following the announcement, the brand released two additional videos featuring their record-breaking product and its long-lasting ability to power toys and gaming systems - important news for those purchasing holiday gifts.

In addition to setting a Guinness World Records title, Energizer® Ultimate Lithium™ AA batteries also hold power for up to 20 years in storage, perform in extreme temperatures from -40° F to 140°F, weigh 33 percent less than alkaline AA batteries, and are guaranteed leak-proof under standard use.
