Next Gen Oxyride Batteries Coming Soon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-juice-on dept.

They last twice as long as premium alkaline batteries, they deliver more power, and they're cheaper. They're already popular in Japan. The downside? They have a shorter life in a "rundown test" where you put the batteries in and leave the power on until they're drained. In real-world scenarios (like how many digital pictures you can take) they do really well."
