Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments
Operations for Energizer are managed via two product segments: Batteries & Lights and Auto Care. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration activities, restructuring costs, acquisition earn out, costs of exiting the Russian market and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense and (loss)/gain on extinguishment of debt are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of restructuring costs and acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the product segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include the sales and marketing functions, as well as human resources, IT and finance shared service costs. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and may not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.
