New Oxyride batteries from Panasonic last twice as long as copper tops at the same price, this is of interest to me , because my Logitech mouse uses two AA
batteries that has to be replaced frequently, these batteries have been under development the last eight years.

They have been given a startup capital to make this happen.

Interesting article, the catch with the Panasonic batteries is that you have to buy them from Panasonic.
