   Rayovac Corporation (the "Company") is offering, upon and subject to the 
terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, dated [        ], 1997 (the 
"Prospectus"), and the enclosed Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of 
Transmittal"), to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") its 10-1/4% Series B Senior 
Subordinated Notes Due 2006 for its outstanding 10-1/4% Senior Subordinated 
Notes Due 2006 (the "Old Notes"). The Exchange Offer is being made in order 
to satisfy certain obligations of the Company contained in the Registration 
Rights Agreement dated as of October 17, 1996, among the Company and the 
other signatories thereto. 

   We are requesting that you contact your clients for whom you hold Old 
Notes regarding the Exchange Offer. For your information and for forwarding 
to your clients for whom you hold Old Notes registered in your name or in the 
name of your nominee, or who hold Old Notes registered in their own names, we 
are enclosing the following documents: 

   1. The Prospectus; 

   2. The Letter of Transmittal for your use and for the information of your 
clients; 

   3. A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to be used to accept the Exchange Offer 
if certificates for Old Notes are not immediately available or time will not 
permit all required documents to reach the Exchange Agent prior to the 
Expiration Date (as defined below) or if the procedure for book-entry 
transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis; 

   4. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose account 
you hold Old Notes registered in your name or the name of your nominee, with 
space provided for obtaining such clients' instructions with regard to the 
Exchange Offer; 

   5. Guidelines for Certificates of Taxpayer Identification Number on 
Substitute Form W-9; and 

   6. Return envelopes addressed to Marine Midland Bank, the Exchange Agent 
for the Old Notes. 

   Your prompt action is requested. The Exchange offer will expire at 5:00 
p.m., New York City time, on [], 1997 unless extended by the Company (the 
"Expiration Date"). The Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may 
be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Date. 

   To participate in the Exchange Offer, a duly executed and properly 
completed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), with any required 
signature guarantees and any other required documents, together with 
certificates representing the Old Notes, should be sent or delivered to the 
Exchange Agent, all in accordance with the instructions set forth in the 
Letter of Transmittal and the Prospectus. 

   If holders of Old Notes wish to tender, but it is impracticable for them 
to forward their certificates for Old Notes prior to the expiration of the 
Exchange Offer or to comply with the book-entry transfer procedures on a 
timely basis, a tender may be offered by following the guaranteed delivery 
procedure described in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed 
Delivery Procedures." 

 

   The Company will, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial 
banks and trust companies for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses 
incurred by them in forwarding the Prospectus and the related documents to 
the beneficial owners of Old Notes held by them as nominee or in a fiduciary 
capacity. The Company will pay or cause to be paid transfer taxes applicable 
to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, except as set 
forth in Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.

for additional copies of the enclosed materials, should be directed to Marine 
Midland Bank, the Exchange Agent for the Old Notes, at its address and 
telephone number set forth on the front of the Letter of Transmittal.
