PARK CITY, Utah — Until now, single use batteries have dominated the music industry, creating thousands of pounds of waste every day. Paleblue, the global leader in rechargeable battery innovation, has joined forces with Ernie Ball, one of the most iconic names in music, to launch a new line of sustainable, high-performance rechargeable batteries designed for musicians and creators. Together, the brands are powering a cleaner future, one performance, one recharge, and one less single-use battery at a time.
Through its partnership with Ernie Ball, Paleblue is bringing its innovation to the stage and studio. The new Ernie Ball USB-C Rechargeable Batteries by Paleblue, available in AA and 9V, offer pro-level reliability and full-voltage consistency across instruments, pedals, tuners, and wireless packs. They’re trusted by the guitar techs and touring pros behind artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, My Chemical Romance, Billie Eilish, Jack Johnson, Zac Brown Band, Jason Mraz, Turnstile, Nine Inch Nails and more, ensuring performance to meet the demands of live music while helping the planet.
“At Paleblue, our mission has always been to eliminate single-use battery waste, and this partnership with Ernie Ball allows us to reach one of the most passionate, influential communities in the world,” said Tom Bishop, Paleblue Founder and CEO. “Musicians demand reliability and performance, and we’re proving you don’t have to choose between great gear and protecting the planet.”
Every year, hundreds of millions of pounds of disposable battery waste ends up in landfills, and Paleblue is on a mission to change that. Founded in 2018 in Park City, Utah, the company has reimagined the humble household battery with modern, eco-forward technology that helps eliminate waste without compromising performance. Each Paleblue battery is USB-C rechargeable, engineered for over 1,000 charge cycles, and designed to replace up to 1,000 single-use batteries, delivering both environmental and economic impact that lasts.
“Ernie Ball is stoked to be partnering with Paleblue to create the future of power in the Music Industry through collaborative design of high performance batteries, unlocking cleaner tone, longer life, and better music.” said Drew Montell, Director of Engineering and Product Development at Ernie Ball
