Energizer releases coin lithium batteries that won't cause burning if accidentally swallowed

Energizer has introduced a new line of lithium coin batteries named the Ultimate Child Shield. These batteries are designed to eliminate the risk of ingestion burns if swallowed, making them a safer option for households with children. The Ultimate Child Shield batteries are available in three sizes: 2032, 2025, and 2016. These sizes are commonly used in various devices, including remotes, wearables, and trackers such as Apple's AirTags. In addition to their safety features, the Ultimate Child Shield batteries have a unique characteristic: they turn the victim's mouth blue if ingested. This feature serves as a visual indicator, potentially alerting caregivers to the ingestion incident. The development of these batteries addresses a significant safety concern regarding traditional lithium coin batteries, which can cause serious injuries if swallowed. Energizer's initiative reflects a growing awareness of the dangers posed by small batteries, particularly in homes with young children. By creating a product that mitigates the risk of burns and provides a clear warning signal, Energizer aims to enhance child safety while maintaining the functionality of these batteries in everyday devices. The introduction of the Ultimate Child Shield batteries marks a notable advancement in battery safety technology.
