An Advanced Global Approach
More than two million batteries are produced and tested
worldwide each year. We lead the industry in product
quality with larger-scale testing facilities than other
companies. Furthermore, all batteries are subjected
to severe five-category testing covering discharge
performance, leakage resistance, shelf life, performance
in extreme environments, and product stability over time.
Continual research and development in all areas, from
materials, production processes, and system technology at
our dedicated lab facilities has kept Panasonic at the very
forefront of battery design. A focus on improving battery
safety and endurance has led to high-value products that
exceed expectations in every area.
