Duracell batteries - Powering portable electronics for over 40 years

Since the early 1970’s the copper top and black Duracell battery has been a staple household product, powering an ever increasing number of portable devices. The evolution of the Duracell battery, however, dates back to the 1920’s when scientist Samuel Ruben and industrial manufacturer Philip Rogers Mallory came together for an unrelated project and decided to combine their relative skill sets. During World War II Ruben devised the Mercury Cell, a far superior battery than the existing zinc batteries of the time, and one which could be transported to the far flung corners of the globe. Shortly after the war ended the Mallory Battery Company was formed and together Ruben and Mallory would continue to transform battery technology until Mallorys’ death in 1975. Innovations continued in the 1950’s with the introduction of the smaller, but more powerful, AAA alkaline manganese battery as a direct response to the increased demand for cameras and the battery powered high energy flashes of the day. The company continued to grow, even licensing their technology to others as they lacked a distribution network. In the early part of the 1970’s the now familiar Duracell livery of copper and black was born along with a new advertising icon; the Duracell Bunny.
