Energizer Industrial EN95

Energizer Industrial EN95 D Alkaline Battery

The EN95 is a professional-grade 1.5 V alkaline D-cell (IEC LR20, ANSI 13A) designed for bulk use in demanding environments. It powers heavy-duty flashlights, beacons, two-way radios, test instruments, and emergency lighting with consistent performance and leak-resistant construction.

When to Choose EN95

• Use for infrequent or standby devices where long shelf life and low self-discharge matter (e.g., emergency lights, safety equipment).
• Good for moderate, steady drains (50–500 mA) such as lanterns and portable radios.
• Avoid for very high-drain, continuous-use gear (e.g., large motorized devices); rechargeable systems may be more cost-effective.
• Not for charging: this is a primary (non-rechargeable) alkaline cell.

Portable radio (draw ~100 mA, 2×D)	~80–120 hours
Emergency beacon (intermittent, avg 25 mA, 1×D)	~300–600 hours
High-drain motorized device (1–2 A, 2×D)	A few hours or less

Compatibility and Equivalents

• Direct replacement for D, LR20, E95, MN1300 in devices that accept standard D cells.
• Industrial EN95 is performance-comparable to consumer D alkaline cells but supplied in bulk packaging for professional use.
• For devices using multiple cells, replace the full set at the same time and keep cells matched by brand and age.

Storage and Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place (10–25°C / 50–77°F); do not freeze or refrigerate.
• Keep in original packaging until use; rotate stock FIFO and check expiry dates.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different brands/chemistries in the same device.
• Remove batteries from equipment if it will sit unused for 3+ months.

Safety Notes

• Do not recharge, puncture, short-circuit, or incinerate.
• Install with correct polarity; ensure clean, tight contacts.
• If a cell leaks or vents, handle with gloves and follow device and local cleanup guidance.
• Keep out of reach of children; seek medical advice if swallowed.
• Dispose or recycle according to local regulations.

Alternatives

• High-usage, daily devices: consider NiMH rechargeable D cells to reduce operating cost.
• Cold-weather or very high-drain applications: consider equipment designed for lithium or rechargeable battery packs.

FAQ

Is EN95 the same as E95?

Performance is comparable. EN95 denotes the industrial, bulk-pack version; E95 is a common consumer designation for Energizer D alkaline cells.

Is EN95 rechargeable?

No. EN95 is a primary alkaline battery and must not be recharged.

What is the shelf life?

Up to 5 years when stored at room temperature in a dry location. Rotate stock and use before the marked date.

Can I mix EN95 with other brands or partially used cells?

No. Mixing cells can cause leakage, reduced runtime, or device damage. Replace all cells in a device at the same time with matching brand and age.
