Permalink Bye bye Duracell

"Panasonic will introduce AA and AAA disposable batteries in June that the company calls the 'most significant developments in primary battery technology in 40 years.'

According to Panasonic, these Oxyride batteries last up to twice as long as premium alkaline batteries like Duracell Ultra ($5 for four), yet cost the same as regular alkalines ($4 for four)."


Upon further reading of this article, Alkaline batteries can outlast the Oxyride ones, but only if you run the application continuously non-stop. In real world situations, switching the device on and off many times and over a long period of time, the Oxyride will outlast and out perform the Alkaline. But the main advantage is that the Oxyride is 13% more powerful (1.7volts vs 1.5 volts) so your device will perform better than on Alkaline batteries. And, oh yes, did I mention that they will be cheaper?!
