2.1‐‐PerformanceatStandardConditions
Standard conditions for Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries are defined as 21°C and 50% relative
humidity(RH).Undertheseconditions,thePP355batteryisdesignedtoprovidecontinuousdischarge
capabilityupto100 mW.Whilebestperformanceisobtainedin standardconditionsandcontinuous
duty cycles, Energizer Zinc Air
Prismatic Batteries perform well over a wide range of environmental
conditions and inintermittent applications aswell.Figure 6contains typicaldischarge curves forthe
PP355understandardconditionsandconstantpowerloadsof25,50,75,and100mW.

Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries significan tly outperform existing Alkaline cylindrical solutions of
equivalent volume.To demonstrate this advantage, Figure 7 shows how PP355 and AAAA Alkaline
batteriesperformonthesamecontinuouspowertests.ThePP355lastslongerthanthealkalineAAAA
even though the volumes of both battery
types are approximately the same at 2.37 cc and 2.2 cc,
respectively.
