There
hasn't been much good news recently for Panasonic on the automotive battery front with reports of delays to
Toyota's plans to use lithium ion batteries in the next-generation
Prius. However there was one recent bright spot when driver Takashi Sudo piloted the 84 lb. Oxyride racer to a record 75 mph. Unlike production type vehicles this one was powered by 192 AA batteries.
