Portronics has unveiled the Lithius Cell line — USB Type-C rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in AA and AAA sizes designed to replace single-use cells and simplify everyday power. These plug-and-play cells promise consistent 1.5V output, built-in charging, and multiple safety features for a wider range of household and professional devices.
A rechargeable AA/AAA that charges with any USB-C cable
Instead of removing batteries to place them in an external charger, Lithius Cell batteries include a USB-C port directly on the cell. That means you can top them up with any standard Type-C cable — no proprietary dock required. During charging, an LED indicator blinks blue and turns solid when the cell reaches full capacity, making it easy to know the status at a glance.
Who should consider these batteries?
Think of cameras, wireless keyboards and mice, TV remotes, toys, clocks, gaming controllers and even basic medical devices: anything that needs a reliable 1.5V cell. Portronics positions the Lithius Cell as a greener, longer-running alternative to disposables for both everyday consumers and light-professional use.
Key specs and safety you need to know
- Voltage: Consistent 1.5V output suitable for standard AA/AAA devices.
- AA capacity: 1480mAh (2,220mWh). Charging input DC 5V/0.5A; output DC 1.5V/2A — tuned for higher-drain gadgets.
- AAA capacity: 440mAh (666mWh). Charging input DC 5V/0.1A; output DC 1.5V/1.5A — ideal for smaller, low-drain devices.
- Low self-discharge: Retains up to ~80% charge after long storage periods to preserve readiness and lifespan.
- Durable build: Leak-proof, reinforced shell engineered to resist pressure and physical wear.
- Safety layers: Multiple internal protections guard against short circuits, overheating, overvoltage, overdischarge and power surges.

Real-world performance and use cases
With a 1.5V output, Lithius Cell batteries work in devices that expect standard alkaline cells without compatibility tricks. The higher-capacity AA option can extend runtime in digital cameras, handheld gaming devices and some high-drain toys, while the AAA model fits remote controls, wireless keyboards and clocks.
Low self-discharge is particularly useful for emergency gear and seasonal devices: leave them idle for months and they still hold most of their charge. For families and professionals trying to cut disposable waste, these rechargeable cells are convenient and cost-effective over time.

Price, warranty and where to buy
Portronics lists the Lithius Cell AAA twin-pack for ₹499 and the AA twin-pack for ₹449. Both are sold through Portronics’ official website, major e-commerce platforms and select offline retailers. Each purchase includes a six-month warranty from the manufacturer.
What else Portronics is launching
Alongside the Lithius Cell, Portronics recently introduced the Revvo magnetic power bank with a built-in kickstand, and the Apollo 30 Bluetooth speaker priced at ₹2,299, which packs RGB lighting and a bundled karaoke mic. These launches show Portronics continuing to expand its affordable, consumer-focused power and audio lineup.
If you’re tired of replacing disposables or juggling a separate charger for every battery size, the Lithius Cell aims to simplify the routine: plug in, see the LED, and put the cell back to work.
