I've been waiting for Panasonic Oxyride batteries to hit the market here and see that Walgreens now has them for $2.50 for four AAs. They also have AAAs.
Supposedly, according to David Pogue at Engadet, they put out 1.7 volts versus 1.5 for Alkalines, making flashlights brighter. Has anyone tested them for real world performance? In (non LED) flashlights, he says they don't outlast alkalines but really improve digital camera performance.
Oxyrides have already captured 10% market share in Japan. According to Panasonic, LED flashlights specifically are greatly improved with Oxyrides. So, I'm wondering if we can see some concrete tests?
