ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The phrase
"batteries not included" can put a major damper on holiday
gift-giving, forcing eager kids and techies alike to wait before
testing out their newest toys and gadgets. In fact, it's likely
this has happened to you, as ninety percent of Americans said they
have forgotten the batteries for holiday gifts in the past.
That information comes from a new consumer poll* conducted by
Energizer® with more than one thousand respondents, just in
time for the approaching holiday season. While consumers reported
concerns like forgetting to RSVP for parties, accidentally leaving
someone off the holiday card list and burning the holiday meal,
remembering batteries for holiday gifts poses the most common
challenge to ensuring holiday bliss.
"It seems like everyone has dealt with a holiday-related battery
mishap," said Michelle Atkinson,
Chief Consumer Officer at Energizer. "We want to make sure
all gift-givers remember this year that Energizer can be
your ticket to ensuring holiday cheer."
Energizer recommends turning to Energizer
MAX® as the go-to battery for the gadgets on your
friends' and family members' wish lists. Providing the combination
of long-lasting power and leak protection, Energizer
MAX® AA batteries have recently been improved to last up
to 30 percent longer than previous iterations in digital cameras,
while also protecting devices from damaging leaks for up to two
years after the battery is fully used and holding power for up to
10 years in storage.
"Forgetting batteries for high-powered gadgets should no longer
fall under the long list of holiday stresses," said Atkinson.
Energizer lighting products also make ideal stocking
stuffers for adventurers, DIY-ers and outdoor enthusiasts. Suited
for a wide spectrum of activities such as bike riding, fixing a
leaky sink or having that backyard campout with the family,
Energizer headlights help the active people in your life
stay safe and hands-free through all excursions.
The Energizer Vision HD LED Headlight is just one example
of the latest Energizer® line of high performance
headlights. Featuring a 180 lumen powerful beam with 3 light modes,
the Energizer Vision HD headlight is water resistant and
drop-tested according to ANSI/NEMA FL1 standards, and its
innovative smart-dimming feature provides users with maximum run
time.
To ensure that your techies stay happy and your adventurers stay
wild, remember Energizer this holiday season not only for
gift ideas, but also as the source of power for those very gifts
and many more.
