Duracell Launches Lithium Coin Batteries with Bitter Coating for Child Safety in India

Duracell, the global leader in high-performance alkaline batteries, specialty cells, and rechargeables, has introduced its new range of lithium coin batteries in India with an added layer of child safety.

The batteries, available in three sizes – CR2025, CR2016, and CR2032 – now come with a unique bitter coating and child-resistant packaging. The innovation is designed to discourage accidental swallowing by toddlers, a growing safety concern in modern households.

“With this launch, Duracell places child safety at the core by integrating bitter coating along with child-resistant packaging into its lithium coin batteries, while continuing to deliver trusted performance,” the company said.

The bitter coating acts as an immediate deterrent if a child places the battery in their mouth, while the packaging reduces the risk of accidental access.

By combining advanced safety features with long-lasting power, Duracell aims to provide both reliability and peace of mind to families.
