Energizer announces purchase of Spectrum's Rayovac Battery Unit
Moody's Investment Service places Energizer's ratings under review for downgrade following its announced acquisition of the Spectrum battery business.
Moody's Rationale:
"The battery category is facing a slow secular decline as consumer products are increasingly evolving toward Rechargeable Technologies. The battery business is also becoming increasingly commoditized, rendering the category highly promotional."

Edited:
Surely Energizer must be aware of Moody's reasoning so why invest $2
Billion in a dying business?
Perhaps:
To consolidate it's position as the world leader in Portable Renewable Storage Technology by combining Monolithically Integrated Portable PV tech with their Batteries...

New breakthrough in battery charging technology
"A new class of Monolithically Integrated, Portable PV-battery systems (denoted as 'SiPV-LIBs') based on miniaturized crystalline Si photovoltaics (c-Si PVs) and printed solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The device uses a thin-film printing technique, in which the solid-state LIB is directly printed on the high-efficiency c-Si PV module.
"This device provides a solution to fix both the energy density problem of batteries and the energy storage concerns of solar cells," says Professor Lee. "More importantly, batteries have relatively high power and energy densities under direct sunlight, which demonstrates its potential application as a solar-driven infinite energy conversion/storage system for use in electric vehicles and portable electronics."
