Nickel oxyhydroxide battery

Nickel oxyhydroxide battery (abb. NiOx) is a new type of primary (non-rechargeable) cell. Batteries of this chemistry are sold under the brand names Duracell Power Pix and Panasonic Oxyride. NiOx batteries excel in high-drain applications such as digital cameras, and in this role, they can provide up to twice the life of an alkaline battery. NiOx batteries can be used in low-drain applications, however the cell's lifespan will be similar to a premium alkaline battery for these uses. NiOx batteries produce a higher voltage (1.7V) than alkaline batteries (1.5V) which can cause problems in certain products, such as equipment with incandescent light bulbs (such as flashlights/torches), or devices without a voltage regulator.
