NRG is a private-label (home brand) exclusively owned and sold by Coles Supermarkets in Australia. The brand was introduced around 2021 as a replacement for the former 'Coles' branded battery range, offering a 'performance promise' for use in everyday devices such as toys, calculators, and kitchen scales.
While the brand is an Australian retail subsidiary of Coles Group, the manufacturing of the physical Lithium CR2032 coin cells is typically outsourced to third-party manufacturers in China, consistent with the production of many lithium-ion and button cell battery components worldwide. The brand functions as a 'phantom label,' designed to look like an independent brand while remaining an internal proprietary line for Coles.
In late 2018, Coles was spun off from Wesfarmers to become a separate, publicly listed company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Consequently, as of 2026, the brand is fully under the ultimate ownership of Coles Group Limited, headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria.
