Amazon Basics 9 Volt Everyday Alkaline Batteries - Pack of 8 (Appearance may vary)

Product Information

Released to replace the Energizer Advanced range of batteries this Energizer Maxplus 9V PP3 is part of a new improved range of single-use alkaline batteries.

The advanced design and battery technology combine to produce high pulse or continuous current levels, protected by a polymer positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) resettable fuse that limits pulse current to 1. Mercury batteries of this format, once common, have been banned in many countries due to their toxicity. Carbon-zinc types are made with six flat cells in a stack, enclosed in a moisture-resistant wrapper to prevent drying. Bought this to use in my multimeters as Alkaline are known and have had many Alkaline batteries leaked on me ruining my equipment. In the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, they were commonly marketed as transistor radio batteries, or TR for short (meant to emulate the function of the old B battery).Very low magnetic signature, thanks to a stainless steel outer container and non-magnetic cell construction. Costlier industrial-grade batteries may use chemistries that provide higher power-to-size ratio, have lower self-discharge and hence longer life when not in use, more resistance to leakage and, for example, ability to handle the high temperature and humidity associated with medical autoclave sterilization. That said for the piece of mind of not dealing with damaged devices from leaking alkaline batteries and the fact they work at much lower temperatures (weather stations, flashlights) they are worth the extra cost. For example, the NiMH code listed in the table (6HR61) assumes a cylindrical geometry and would not apply to the pictured NiMH cell.

I've long relied on Energizer Lithiums for smoke alarms, remotes, flashlights, and anything else that merits a longlasting battery w/o risk of leakage.Engineered for critical electronic devices like smoke alarms, wireless microphones and RF transmitters, this 9V battery is part of the Energizer line that’s proven to be the longest lasting in the world in those devices. Verbatim's 9V batteries are recommended for use in house hold smoke alarms giving high performance, and piece of mind.

The size, regardless of chemistry, is commonly designated PP3—a designation originally reserved solely for carbon-zinc, or in some countries, E or E-block. These cells are slightly smaller than LR8D425 AAAA cells and can be used in their place for some devices, even though they are 3. With a wide selection ranging from the 150mAh GP rechargeable battery to the long-life GP 1200mAh single use cell.

batteries are also used in everyday devices, like remote controlled toys, walkie talkie devices and radios. The Longlife Max Power range consists of Varta’s longest lasting ultra-alkaline batteries, the line is manufactured in Germany, well-known for their high-quality, reliable products.
