Coles Alkaline+ C Battery

Coles Alkaline+ batteries are a private-label household essential offered by Coles Supermarkets, one of Australia's largest retail chains. Designed as a budget-friendly power solution for various domestic electronics, these batteries are part of the broader Coles brand portfolio which emphasizes value for everyday consumers.

The Coles brand originated in Australia with the opening of the first Coles store in Melbourne in 1914 by George Coles. Over a century later, the brand remains a cornerstone of Australian retail. While the brand is quintessentially Australian, most of its private-label hardware and electronic products, including these alkaline batteries, are manufactured in China through third-party supply chains to maintain competitive pricing.

Coles Group Limited, the ultimate owner, is a publicly listed company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). It operates a vast network of supermarkets and liquor stores across Australia. Since its divestment from Wesfarmers in 2018, Coles Group has operated as an independent entity headquartered in Hawthorn East, Victoria, continuing its legacy as a major employer and provider in the Australian market.
