Maxell introduces a zero-mercury, zero-lead added silver-oxide cell; reducing environmental impact while maintaining current product-life levels

Maxell Europe Limited, the battery and data storage products announces the introduction of an environmentally advanced silver-oxide cell that successfully reduces the mercury and lead in the cathode material to zero, while maintaining a product-life comparable to conventional silver-oxide cell products. The new cell will be available from June 2009 and Maxell plans to replace all of its silveroxide cells with the new zero-mercury, zero-lead added type by early 2010.
