The 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline are supposed to offer premium energy for personal appliances and should be ideal for high and medium drain appliances according to Panasonic. They are almost the highest-end Alkaline batteries that the company offers, the only supposedly better option are the ones in the Evolta range. The Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries we tested here were with an expiration date of 01-2018 meaning that they should be offering at least 5 years shelf life.

Starting our test as we usually do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A we have managed to get 794 mAh as capacity from the 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries, or a it disappointing result placing them more in the mid-range among the AAA size Alkaline batteries we have tested so far. At 0.2A and 0.3A constant current discharge rates the batteries still perform quite well, though at a level of 0.5A there is a more significant drop in the usable capacity you can get, meaning that these batteries are not going to be handling well in devices that have quite high power requirements and are using AAA-size batteries.

The performance of the 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries in our tests:

– 794 mAh at 0.1A load
– 593 mAh at 0.2A load
– 492 mAh at 0.3A load
– 159 mAh at 0.5A load

– 0.964 Wh at 0.1A load
– 0.707 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.568 Wh at 0.3A load
– 0.173 Wh at 0.5A load

The 1.5V AA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries are from the mid to high-range of primary batteries from Panasonic situated at one level below the top Evolta range of Alkaline batteries. Panasonic claims that it has improved capacity of the new Pro Power batteries so that they can offer up to 80% extra performance compared to their last years Alkaline range of batteries (the maximum difference measured between Panasonic Pro Power production 2012 and Panasonic Standard Power production 2011 by Panasonic). The 1.5V AA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries we got for testing are with an expiration date of 02-2020, so quite a long shelf life for these batteries. Panasonic says that these are ideal for high and medium drain appliances, so let us see how they perform in our tests.

Starting our tests of the 1.5V AA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries as usual with a constant current discharge rate of 0.1A we’ve managed to get 2517 mAh capacity and that is actually a very good result fr an Alkaline battery, though not the highest we’ve got so far (we should also check the Panasonic Evolta batteries). Increasing the constant current discharge rate to 0.2A and the batteries still manage to handle very well, and even going further we are still getting very good performance. So the 1.5V AA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries are probably among the top Alkaline batteries you can currently get, and they are certainly giving better results than the standard Duracell Copper Top batteries.

The performance of the 1.5V AA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline Batteries in our tests:

– 2517 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1859 mAh at 0.2A load
– 1178 mAh at 0.5A load
– 572 mAh at 1.0A load

– 3.159 Wh at 0.1A load
– 2.298 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.378 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.636 Wh at 1.0A load
