From C|Net News: (http://news.com.com/New%2C+cheap+battery+outshines+alkalines/2100-1041_3-5658376.html?tag=nefd.top)
Panasonic will introduce AA and AAA disposable batteries in June that the company calls the "most significant developments in primary battery technology in 40 years."
According to Panasonic, these Oxyride batteries last up to twice as long as premium alkaline batteries like Duracell Ultra ($5 for four), yet cost the same as regular alkalines ($4 for four).
Astounded yet? Then get this: Oxyride batteries are also supposed to deliver more power.
I don't see "Halo" referenced anywhere in this story, but it's just a matter of time.
