Alkalines versus Oxyride

Alkaline comparison to Oxyride(Nickel Oxyhydroxide NiooH)

Oxyride (Nickel Oxyhydroxide, NiOOH) –  Probably the best disposable battery on the market

In 2006 Oxyride came flying out of the chute to compete with Alkalines, and to say the least they do exactly that. They last greater than twice as long as your  standard alkaline in a digital camera or other high drain device, and around 1.5 times as long as high drain alkalines like Energizer e2. Guess what, they are price competitive with Alkalines as well. The only down fall to Oxyride is that they can not be recharged. However with that being said, they are a very good disposal battery and out perform Alkalines hands down.

Oxyride batteries put out 1.7 volts versus Alkaline batteries at 1.5 volts, while rechargeable batteries put out a considerably lower 1.2 volts. But don’t be fooled, higher voltage doesn’t always mean a better battery. Voltage isn’t the same thing as capacity. Voltage is how “strong” the force is, not how long that force lasts. The higher voltage received from Oxyride battery is not a issue to your electronics. Oxyride  batteries are just what the doctor ordered for a disposable battery that fits your budget in your high drain device.
