VARTA CR2430 Lithium Coin Battery

VARTA is one of the most recognized names in the global battery market, with a history dating back to 1887 in Germany. Originally founded by Adolf Müller in Hagen, the brand has become a hallmark of German engineering and energy storage solutions. Over its long history, VARTA has evolved through various corporate structures, including being part of the Quandt family's portfolio for several decades.

Today, the ownership of the VARTA brand is divided based on the product category. The household and consumer battery segment, which includes the CR2430 lithium coin cells shown in the image, is owned and operated by Energizer Holdings, Inc., an American multinational company. While the brand maintains its German identity and engineering heritage, mass-market consumer cells like these are typically manufactured in Indonesia or China to meet global supply chain requirements, though some high-end product lines are still produced in Germany.

Energizer Holdings acquired VARTA's consumer battery business in 2020, solidifying its position as a global leader in the portable power industry. The automotive and industrial battery divisions under the VARTA name remain under separate ownership (Clarios and VARTA AG, respectively).
