Panasonic Platinum Boosts Alkaline Battery Power

Panasonic Energy Corporation of America announced the introduction of its latest AA and AAA Platinum Power alkaline batteries which last 33% longer than Panasonic's regular alkaline cells. The new Platinum Power AA and AAA batteries are now powered by Evolta technology, and are the most powerful Panasonic alkaline cells offered in North America. They feature Advanced Formula, Triple Tough Coating, Anti-Leak Protection, and protect power for up to 10 years.

"Panasonic's new Platinum Power Alkaline AA and AAA batteries deliver outstanding power performance, lasting 33% longer than our conventional alkaline cells. They are optimized for use in high-drain devices that consume more power," said Yoji Takagi, Sales and Marketing Director, Panasonic Energy Corporation of America, Consumer Products Division. "They have Triple Tough Coating which provides better connectivity in devices and advanced Anti-Leak Protection which reduces the possibility of leakage.

“The name “Evolta” combines “voltage” (power) and “evolution”—how Panasonic technology has grown to become preeminent in the industry. Evolta is not just the No.1 Panasonic battery; it consistently outperforms our competitors’ premium products in commonly accepted performance tests,” Takagi continued.

High-reactivity ingredients, such as titanium and high-purity manganese dioxide, combine to generate extra voltage for power-hungry devices. Uniform and homogenized filling density inside Evolta batteries allows current to flow with greater consistency. An improved structural design reduces gasket and can size, leaving more space for active ingredients, while a tough outer coating ensures better impact resistance. This gasket material and the specialized sealing method, when combined with the new zinc alloy, electrolytes and organic inhibitors, reduce the possibility of electrolyte leakage.

Platinum Power Alkaline AA and AAA batteries utilize new zinc alloy, electrolytes, and organic inhibitors which reduces gas build up generated within the cell. Panasonic has also developed a unique gasket material which has increased resistance to degradation.

Conventional battery terminals develop contact resistance, which stops gear from working properly. But Evolta has iron-and-nickel-plated alloy terminals, a Triple Tough Coating that stops resistance and guarantees a smooth energy flow.
