Frequently Asked Questions

Following Q&A will teach you everything you wanted to know about batteries and how to optimize the usage.
The results of a voltmeter vary depending on the type of voltmeter used. For a more accurate result, be sure to use a voltmeter with more than 1 megaohm input resistance for alkaline buttons batteries or a 10+ megaohm for lithium batteries.
While most batteries will still work in extreme temperatures (albeit with shorter lifespans), Panasonic EVOLTA NEO is your best choice for extreme cold or warm weather.
Do not throw batteries in the trash. You can recycle every battery type you use - even unusable rechargeable batteries. Recycling points and regulations are different in every country.
For best performance, always try to keep the battery’s energy level above 30% of its total capacity. Also: always use batteries of the same type and expiry date together.
Panasonic strongly advocates not attempting to charge primary batteries such as alkaline, zinc carbon, or lithium, using Ni-MH chargers. Alkaline batteries are not designed for recharging, and doing so could cause leakage and in the worst case lead to the batteries exploding.
Batteries are best stored at room temperature. Extreme heat or cold can significantly reduce battery life.
They do. We guarantuee performance for up to three years after production. After this we cannot guarantee the battery will perform as well as it’s supposed to.
Yes, the batteries' weight does change during usage.
Coin batteries have a low voltage (1.5 V) and a diameter less than 12 mm to prevent any serious accident. Also, packaging has been designed specifically to prevent accidental ingestion. Panasonic coin batteries are thus relatively safe and serious accidents are very uncommon.
While leakage is rare, it may still occur if the battery is used incorrectly. Leakage is usually caused by leaving the battery in an unused device or short-circuiting.
