Petzl CORE rechargeable battery

Petzl is a world-renowned French brand specializing in climbing gear, caving equipment, and professional work-at-height solutions. Founded in the 1970s by Fernand Petzl, a pioneering caver, the company is credited with revolutionizing alpine equipment, including early versions of the headlamp.

The CORE battery shown is a specific accessory designed for Petzl’s 'Hybrid Concept' headlamps, allowing users to switch between standard alkaline batteries and a rechargeable power source. While Petzl maintains its global headquarters and significant high-tech manufacturing facilities in Crolles and Eybens, France, electronic accessories and specific battery components like the CORE are typically manufactured in China to leverage specialized electronics production infrastructure. The brand remains an independent, family-owned company, continuing to innovate from its base in the French Alps.
