Specially for photographic applications
A new introduction to Ansmann’s programme is a photo alkaline battery that offers a long service life for photographic equipment including digital cameras, reflex cameras and flash units. The battery has a large overall energy capacity and is capable of supplying high currents over longer periods of time for photographic applications. Strong emphasis has been put on avoiding battery leakage. The expiry date is printed on each battery, which can also be used in any low drain devices.

Exotic design
J. Wagner’s new Bamboo solar lamp offers a combination of exceptional design and the latest LED technology. Designed in the ethnic style, and with a choice of green or orange lights, the lamp is ideal for providing effective accents in the garden. The LEDs (light emitting diodes) are able to function with small, lightweight rechargeable batteries, and are both unbreakable and frost proof. Replacement rechargeable batteries are also available and can be easily installed in the lamps.
