Manufacturing dry cell batteries requires robust R&D for standardisation and suitability. At Eveready, we use 30 to 35 raw materials, each undergoing 315 to 320 checks for compliance before production. We verify 110 to 120 parameters to ensure 100% compliance. All cells are tested for voltage and amperage to prevent defects. Our R&D Centre works tirelessly to meet customer needs through new developments and quality audits.
