"An oxyride battery is an especially powerful, long lasting battery
developed by Matsu****a Electric Industrial of Tokyo for Panasonic. The
oxyride battery is 1.5 times as powerful as a regular alkaline battery,
allowing extended use of high-drain battery-powered devices such as
digital cameras, with the ability to take up to twice as many digital
pictures. Flashes also recover quicker and pictures can be taken
faster. The extra power of the oxyride battery might also deliver
enhanced bass in audio payers, according to some.

Oxyride batteries use updated alkaline chemistry that includes a finer
grained graphite and manganese dioxide, allowing a denser fill of
material. With an advanced substance for the cathode or plus side,
called oxy nickel hydroxide the batteries maintain higher voltage.
Oxyride batteries also utilize a breakthrough vacuum-pouring technology
in the production process, allowing more electrolyte to be packed into
each battery for increased durability. Hence, increased power and a
longer life!

The oxyride battery was first introduced to the Japanese market in 2004
and has boasted an impressive demonstration, powering the 9.5 foot (2.9
meter) 'Oxyride' car. The car, built especially for the demonstration
and resembling a torpedo with three bicycle wheels, carried a 110 pound
(50 kilogram) female passenger laying luge-style under the drop-top
canopy. Powered by two AA oxyride batteries, it traveled 213 feet (65
meters) in 74 seconds, and went a total of three quarters of a mile
(1.23 kilometers) before the batteries ran dry.

In more practical terms, toy trucks will run faster, PDA's will compute
longer, powered toothbrushes will brush longer, and MP3 players will
crank out more tunes. In fact, with the advent of more and more digital
products that require a battery power source, the oxyride battery
promises a brighter and longer-lasting future.

The Panasonic brand of oxyride battery is called 'Digital Xtreme Power'
and the AA and AAA oxyrides will cost about 10% more than their normal
counterpart alkaline batteries."

"Powerful"? Ugh. Power (watt) refers to flow; what they really mean
here is that it can store 1 1/2 times the energy (joules).

If one assumes constant power, one gets E = P * t; since
E = 1/2 m v^2, P = 1/2 m v^2/t, v = sqrt(2 * P * t / m),
x = (2 * P * t / m)^(3/2) * m / (2 * P)
= sqrt (2 * P / m) * t^(3/2), or P = (x/t^(3/2))^2 * m/2
= m*x^2/(2 * t^3) = 0.26 watt.

"Powerful" is an adjective. Power is a noun. Still, the choice of
words, while correct given modern usage, was unfortunate.
