The '''Proton AA''' ({{j|プロトンＸ|Puroton X|[[Proton X]]}}) is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is actually a Duracell (National Hi-Top in the Japanese [[Region|version]]) AA battery. This item is found in the fourth sublevel of the [[Submerged Castle]], near some [[poison emitter]]s and [[bomb rock]]s held by [[Volatile Dweevil]]s and [[Careening Dirigibug]]s. Olimar takes note on how it looks very much like the [[Courage Reactor]], the first treasure he found in ''Pikmin 2''.

The text on it reads:

:Inserire correttamente. Non ricaricare.
:Respecter les polarités + et -. Ne pas
:recharger. Auf richtige Polarität achten.
:Nicht wiederaufladbar. Connect correctly.
:Do not recharge. MADE IN EC

:<span style="font-size: 150%;">DURACELL&copy;</span>

:AA
:ALKALINE 1,5V
:MN0000 LR6
:<span style="border: 1px solid orange;">MAR 2010</span>

The first paragraph contains instructions that warn the user to respect the polarity, and that the battery is not rechargeable. They are presented in Italian, French, German, and English, in that order.

In the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Switch port]], the treasure is an unbranded AA battery.

{{Transcript|This object resembles the first treasure I found on this planet, so it holds certain sentimental value to me. However, I've just noticed that the size it slightly different. Sometime, I should take the time to read my previous treasure logbook. It's good to reflect on the past sometimes...|block=y}}
