Geek Batteries

Best swag of CES 2005: Energizer. At one of the press events, they offered shoulder-sling backpacks with a few sets of new “high tech” AA and AAA batteries inside. Since most of my current devices rely on proprietary rechargable batteries, I haven't been able to test these freebies against standard alkalines. According to Jake, the 2500mAh is really worth the price. They say:

There is a tide change in the performance category
with consumers turning to lithium and rechargeable AA and AAA batteries to power their
high tech devices. During the last year, Energizer's share of the ever important
performance battery segment grew. Powering the surge for Energizer is its Energizer®
e2® Lithium AA and newly introduced AAA batteries as well as its new offerings in the
Energizer® Rechargeable line. The third brand in the Energizer performance portfolio is
Energizer® e2® Titanium Technology® batteries which provides a battery with longer
lasting power for high-tech devices, allowing consumers to groove, flash and play longer
than with an ordinary alkaline.

We got a short interview with one of their engineers, and I expect that to be posted to our show's site within the next week or so. Which reminds me: in less than twenty four hours, we will be streaming live with Robert and Maryam Scoble! I believe they each run on five D cells?
