Using manganese dioxide and oxy-hydroxide titanium for the cathode and zinc for the anode Panasonic has come out with a chemical reaction that delivers superior performance. Panasonic's Evolta line of batteries promises to deliver longer life with their AA battery being recognized as the world's longest lasting alkaline battery cell in the world. The AA Evolta battery has been tested to deliver up to 20% longer battery life than Duracell and Energizer. Panasonic's Evolta

January 16th 2009 : Panasonic is pleased to introduce the new 8.1-megapixel DMC-LS85 camera. Running on AA batteries and featuring ultimate ease of use with iA(Intelligent Auto), the LS85 is a successor to the LS80. Setting itself apart from conventional AA battery operation cameras, the DMC-LS85 boasts a powerful 4x optical zoom and bright F2.8 high quality LUMIX DC VARIO lens (equivalent to 33mm to 132 mm on a 35mm film camera).

Apparently Panasonic's never tried Energizer's E2 Lithium batteries. Depending on the device, I get anywhere from 3-6x the battery life out of them. My vx Revolution gets a month out of a standard AA, four on a E2 Lithium. My Sennheiser noise canceling headphones are the best though. I'd have to replace the AAA battery weekly using them 4-6 hours a day...now I replace them once every few months. They cost about 3x as much, but they last, and they are also a lot lighter than alkaline. (Pick up an 8-pack of them next time you're in walmart and compare them to regular AAs).

Readily available Panasonic AA size rechargeable batteries can be used to power the microphone. *1. The battery can be charged while installed in the microphone. *2. In addition to running the microphone on a rechargeable battery, you can connect it to the optional WX-LZ150 Charger connected to an AC outlet or install an AA size dry cell, which makes for a three-way power supply.
