Climate Impact on Battery Performance

Brazil: Heat and Humidity Considerations

Brazil’s climate is characterized by:

• Altas temperaturas
• High humidity levels

Impact on batteries:

• Risk of leakage in low-quality batteries
• Faster self-discharge in extreme heat
• Demanda de stable alkaline batteries with leak-proof technology 

�� Carbon zinc batteries are still used but are gradually being replaced by alkaline batteries.

Russia: Extreme Cold Environment

Russia presents one of the harshest environments for batteries:

• Sub-zero temperatures for long periods
• Wide geographic distribution

Impact on batteries:

• Reduced battery capacity in cold conditions
• Voltage instability in low-quality products

�� Strong demand for:

• Cold-resistant alkaline batteries 
• LiFePO4 lithium batteries with stable low-temperature discharge

Consumer Behavior and Purchasing Power

Brazil: Price-Sensitive but Upgrading

• Consumers seek cost-effective solutions 
• Carbon zinc batteries still have demand
• Growing shift toward Pilas alcalinas AA y AAA 

�� Retail and e-commerce channels are expanding rapidly.

Russia: Performance-Oriented Consumption

• Consumers prioritize reliability and durability 
• Willing to pay more for performance
• Strong demand in industrial and backup applications 

�� Battery failure in cold environments is unacceptable, driving quality expectations higher.
