Microbatteries and Solutions
The segment is divided into Microbatteries, Lithium-Ion CoinPower®, Large Lithium-Ion Cells and Power Pack Solutions.
VARTA's Microbatteries segment is the leading international manufacturer of microbatteries for a wide range of applications, from hearing aid batteries to automotive use. We count the most important companies among our customers and produce batteries in numerous important electrochemical systems as well as shapes and sizes.
Applications are becoming smaller, lighter and smarter. The demands on the energy supply in these areas are constantly increasing. The battery is the strategic component of these devices and has made many development breakthroughs possible for manufacturers in the first place. VARTA CoinPower® combines our strengths, our experience and our market leadership in button cells with modern lithium-ion technology. Innovative design meets highest energy density. CoinPower® cells deliver reliable performance. Leading companies worldwide rely on them - not only in the entertainment sector.
VARTA transfers its leading lithium-ion technology to new formats. More and more applications require battery cells with even better performance at high energy. The VARTA cell has a higher performance than any other competing product on the market. The applications are diverse and range from use in energy storage systems to power packs and driverless transport systems.
Outstanding, innovative technology deserves a battery solution that fits seamlessly into the system and its design. A highly individual, customised battery as the driving force to bring ideas to life. The Solutions segment has extensive industry experience in designing high-performance, safe and on-demand lithium-ion battery packs - for medical technology, robotics, connectivity or telecommunications. The product portfolio ranges from customised battery packs, where development is supported by our experts from the first idea to series production, to ready-configured standard batteries that are available immediately.
Household Batteries
The segment is divided into batteries, rechargeables, special batteries, lights, powerbanks, cables and accessories, chargers and energy storage systems.
VARTA is one of the most important international manufacturers of portable batteries. In addition to batteries, the product range also includes rechargeable batteries, power banks, chargers and lights. The innovative quality products are developed and manufactured using the latest technology and VARTA's decades of know-how. In addition to the innovative strength, the product range's variety, quality and design make it unique. In this segment, as with all its battery cell production, VARTA relies on Germany as a production site.
With the development and manufacture of energy storage systems, VARTA is making its contribution to the implementation of the energy transition. VARTA's energy storage solutions in the home and large-scale storage market range from compact entry-level models, such as the wall-mounted VARTA pulse neo, to the large-scale VARTA flex storage for commercial applications. The AC-coupled systems have an integrated battery inverter and can be combined with all sources of green energy without an additional PV inverter. This makes them suitable for all new installations and retrofits. The intelligent energy management system also ensures optimal utilisation of the self-produced solar energy and is designed to significantly increase self-consumption.
