Avenir Telecom has introduced something unusual: an Energizer-branded laptop with a truly massive battery. This Energizer laptop claims to have a battery that keeps going and going and going—but will it fly? (No.) That’s because its 192Wh power pack is way above the airline limit, making it impossible to carry on most flights.
Energizer EnergyBook Lineup
The company is rolling out three productivity-focused models:
-
Energizer EnergyBook Pro 15
-
Energizer EnergyBook Pro XL 18
-
Energizer EnergyBook Pro Ultra (flagship)
The standout is the Pro Ultra, which comes with an 18-inch display at 1920 x 1200 resolution and that monster 192Wh battery. At just €449 ($523) to start, these machines promise marathon performance at a budget price.
Specs At A Glance
The Energizer EnergyBook Pro Ultra is expected to ship with:
-
AMD Ryzen 5 processor
-
16GB DDR4 RAM
-
512GB NVMe SSD
-
Ports: USB-C, USB 3.0, HDMI, SD card reader, headphone jack
That setup is enough for everyday productivity, but clearly the battery is the star of the show.
The Battery Problem
Here’s the catch: this Energizer laptop claims to have a battery that keeps going and going and going, with up to 28 hours of heavy use or seven days on standby. But that same battery makes it too big for air travel.
The FAA bans lithium batteries over 160Wh from flights, and even those above 100Wh require approval. Most laptops stop at around 100Wh for this reason. Canada’s Air Transport Security Authority allows exceptions for medical mobility devices, but those batteries must be external—not sealed inside a laptop.
So while the EnergyBook Ultra might last you a full workweek without a charger, you won’t be bringing it onboard your next trip.
Who Is It For?
If you’re a frequent flyer, this laptop isn’t for you. But if you work from home, camp off-grid, or just want a device that really lives up to the Energizer brand, it could be a quirky but practical choice.
The question remains: do you want a laptop that trades portability for sheer endurance?
