Section 2: PP355 Performance Characteristics
This section describes the performance of the PP355 battery. Standard discharge curves, performance
at a variety of environmental conditions, pulse capability, and service maintenance data are presented.
2.1 ‐‐ Performance at Standard Conditions
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 significantly 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
even though the volumes of both battery types are approximately the same at 2.37 cc and 2.2 cc,
respectively.
