BR Series (poly-carbonmonofluoride lithium batteries)
BR "A" series (extended-temperature-range coin cells)
CR series (manganese dioxide lithium batteries)
VL series (vanadium rechargeable lithium batteries)
ML series (manganese rechargeable lithium batteries)
ML-R series (reflow-solderable ML lithium batteries)
NBL series (niobium rechargeable lithium batteries)
MT series (titanium lithium batteries)
CGR and CGA series (lithium ion rechargeable cells)
HHR and HHF series (nickel metal hydride rechargeable cells)
AM, LR and ZR series (alkaline and oxyride batteries).
