New Panasonic AA Battery Has 10 Year Shelf Life

Panasonic’s new Evolta  double-A alkaline battery will keep devices powered 20 percent longer than batteries by rival makers, according to Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which makes Panasonic brand products.

Guinness World Records has certified the Evolta as (the world's) "the longest-lasting AA alkaline battery cell,"  based on test results under guidelines set by the industry's International Electrotechnical Commission.

Evolta's longer life results from more material being packed inside it, the new materials it's made with ,and its sturdier seal than predecessors had.

Evolta's 10-year shelf life is up to 60 percent longer than rivals'. Other batteries last five to seven years on the shelf, Panasonic officials said.

The Evolta’s longer life also makes it more attractevolta.jpgive to store in disaster preparedness kits.

Evolta goes on sale in April in Japan, and distribution is planned for overseas markets later this year, Matsushita said. A pack of four will cost about $5.40 in Japan, about 15 percent more than regular batteries and 3 percent more than Oxyride. Prices outside Japan aren't set.
