As usual walked along the battery section in a shop near my work, and saw that they have new Panasonic Lithium AA
1.5V -1.8V (both V`s are mentioned on the package, as I cant read the Kanji, I have no idea what they are saying)
After using google, I didnt find any information in English. And Im not good at Japanese, so I have no clue about these new Panasonic lithiums. The button on the + side, has the same vents as the Energizer lithiums.

They are pricey, like the Energizer lithiums here in JP. About the same price.1200yen for 4 batteries. Yes, thats about 300 yen per battery. (abo Eneloops are about 800-900yen per 4.

anyone seen these? or maybe just for the Japanese market?

Yesterday I found another interesting pair of batteries.

The new Toshiba LSD 2400mAh 1.2v

85% after 1 year.

Seem pretty good, as the Eneloop Pro have the same specs... 2400mAh. 500cycles
They also have D cells! 8.000mAh. (expensive at 14 bucks each)
Unfortunately pretty expensive!

Anybody has seen these outside Asia?
