The Evolta AA Alkaline battery lasts longer in more devices than the company’s own previous-generation AA alkalines as well as those from other brands, according to the folks at Panasonic. The battery, which derives its name from “evolution†and “voltage†was specifically designed to work with a variety of electronics devices, ranging from low-middle-drain remote controls, portable radios and MP3 players to high-drain digital cameras and remote-control cars.
The new Evolta batteries will be available in stores in October. AA and AAA batteries will be offered in four-packs and eight-packs. The suggested retail prices are: AA or AAA four-pack, US$4.99; AA or AAA eight-pack, $8.99
To promote the battery, Panasonic is launching the Evolta Sweepstakes promotion. From Oct. 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009 consumers can enter for a chance to win a variety of Panasonic products with a total value of $25,000. The grand prize winner will receive a 42-inch Panasonic VIERA plasma HDTV and a Blu-ray Disc home theater system. Thirty other prizes will be awarded in all, including five Panasonic VIERA plasma HDTVs, 10 Blu-ray Disc players and 15 LUMIX digital still cameras.
