How Eveready changed your life?

Eveready, one of the world’s most reputed brand names in batteries and flashilights, celebrates its 110 years of “lighting” people’s lives. In its 110 years of existence, Eveready has proved to be a dependable and reliable ally, bringing unparallel lighting and battery solutions to people.


Imagine lasting 110 years in the market? A company wouldn’t last that long if it isn’t for the excellent service it provides. And Eveready is a living testament. 110 years of providing joy and assisstance to mankind, Eveready sure has every reason to celebrate.

For me and for most people I know, Eveready is the most trusted brand when it comes to batteries. To prove my case, let me share to you an “embarrassing” incident experienced by my grandmother way back because she opted for a cheap battery instead of the good old reliable Eveready brand.

It was Christmas time and she bought a beautiful battery operated toy car from a high end department store for her grand son. For some unexplanable reason she replaced the batteries of her old clock from the batteries included in the toy car and bought some cheap knockoff batteries for the toy (I can only guess that she thought the toy is already expensive enough so she might as well save on the batteries). When she gave it to the boy on Christmas day at their house, his excitement was traded with a disappointing expression when the toy car operated for a good 2 minutes only. Then, of course after much scrutinizing from the boy’s dad, everyone figured it was a case of a faulty battery. It was already embarrasing enough for the battery to die down but even embarrassing was the boy’s dad asking their maid to buy a “branded” — as the dad specifically instructed the maid — battery from a nearby store for the child at that time.

Well, the above story just proves the saying “you get what you pay for.” Sometimes things, like batteries, may cost more because there is a reason for that. Now, my grandmother’s story may be taken lightly because it is a funny “faulty battery” episode but imagine if it was a more serious incident, like typhoons or earthquakes, and not having a realiable battery and flashlights, things may just get pretty ugly.

Choosing a good quality battery and flashlight is very important because these are of paramount essentials during “emergencies” or crisis situation which can sometimes be life threatening. It is important to be prepared always because one never knows when these situations will occur. So, if you want to be ready at all times and make sure that you are well prepared during emergencies, stick with EVEREADY.

Eveready, the leading manufacturer of dry cell batteries, offers three kinds of batteries: Eveready Super Heavy Duty Carbon Zinc Batteries, Eveready Gold Alkaline Batteries, and Eveready Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers. All three are safe and environment friendly since they don’t leak and don’t contain Mercury or Cadmium.

The Eveready Super Heavy Duty Carbon Zinc Batteries are your General Purposes batteries. They are the battery type of choice in the 70s because they are a lot cheaper than other batteries. Eveready Super Heavy Duty Batteries are best used for clocks, flashlights, radios and other expensive devices that are low drain and that you use infrequently.

Eveready Gold Alkaline Batteries, a mercury free alternative battery for “Heavy Duty”, provides more power and lasts 3Xs longer. Eveready was the first to remove all mercury content from its alkaline batteries, making them disposable and safe. It is the most common type of household batteires nowadays and works well for low to mid-drain devices such as, remotes, radios, calculators and motor driven toys.

The last one, Eveready Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers, is best for high drain devices because these rechargeable NiMH batteries and chargers are designed to provide hundreds and hundreds of charges, enough to ensure that your devices will have many more than nine lives. Eveready’s chargers are designed to endure the demands of you’re the family.

Despite 110 years, Eveready batteries are still the best. It is safe, environment friendly, and high-quality.

Cadmium poisoning is a very serious matter since it poses a hazardous effect to people’s help. Symptoms of Cadmim poisoning include memory loss, dizziness, headeaches, lack of strength, and pain in the back and limbs. Cadmium poisoning has also been linked to kidney failure and cancer. On the other hand, Mercury, too, brings destructive effect to the immune system. Symptoms of mercury poisoning usually includes psychological disturbances, digestive tract problems such as diarreha and cramps, Cardiovascular, Neurological, Respiratory and other problems.

Eveready’s Lighting products, such as their new generation household LED flashlight, are another reason for them to celebrate. LED, Light Emitting Diode, is the latest technology in the lighting market. The Eveready Household LED flashlight is definitely a great choice since it is cost-efficient, consuming less batteries – thus saving more energy — while producing constant output. Eveready LED flashlights have a longer lifespan due to its sturdy bulbs. LED bulbs never need replacing and produce bright white light in constant output.
