Nickel oxyhydroxide battery (abb. NiOx) is a type of primary cell (non-rechargeable). NiOx batteries excel in high-drain applications such as digital cameras, and in this role, they can provide up to twice the life of an alkaline battery.
NiOx batteries of this chemistry are sold under brand names such as Duracell Power Pix and Panasonic Oxyride.
NiOx batteries used in low-drain applications, have a lifespan similar to a premium alkaline battery. NiOx batteries produce a higher voltage (1.7V) than alkaline batteries (1.5V) which can cause problems in certain products, such as equipment with incandescent light bulbs (such as flashlights/torches), or devices without a voltage regulator.
