Fused Button Battery

Developing child safe button batteries

Child safety in danger

our simple solution

Every year thousands of children die or sustain serious injury due to accidental button battery ingestion. Button batteries can lodge themselves within any existing or artificial bodily orifice potentially causing lethal damage.

We found a solution. By building in an internal automatic fuse button batteries can no longer harm our children.
