PROFILE |
 |
Chasing the copper top and the pink bunny, Rayovac is the US's #3 battery maker, after Gillette's Duracell and Energizer Holdings. Its general-purpose alkaline batteries power consumer gadgets such as radios and remote controls; it is the market leader for rechargeable and hearing-aid batteries. Rayovac also makes specialty batteries for use in computer clock backups and keyless auto entry systems, for example. Its lighting unit makes flashlights and lanterns. Low prices (20% below its rivals) and increased distribution -- plus a little help from pitchman Michael Jordan -- have made Rayovac the fastest-growing battery company in the US. Investment firm Thomas H. Lee owns 36% of the company.
