Oxyride battery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The OxyrideTM battery is the trademark of a non-rechargeable battery developed by Panasonic. It is specially developed to power high-drain digital devices such as digital cameras. These batteries contain Oxy Nickel Hydroxide (NiOOH), differentiating them from standard Alkaline batteries. Oxyride batteries deliver an average voltage between 1.5V and 1.7V.
