Standard conditions for Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries are defined as 21°C and 50% relative
humidity(RH).Undertheseconditions,thePP355batteryisdesignedtoprovidecontinuousdischarge
capability up to 100 mW.Whilebest performance is obtainedinstandardconditionsandcontinuous
duty cycles, Energizer Zinc Air
Prismatic Batteries perform well over a  wide range of environmental
conditions and in intermittent applications as  well.Figure 6 contains  typical discharge curves for the
PP355understandardconditionsandconstantpowerloadsof25,50,75,and100mW.

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
batteriesperformonthesamecontinuouspowertests.ThePP355lastslongerthanthealkalineAAAA 
