9V Battery
Microbattery.com has an vast selection of 9V batteries, that can readily start up high current equipment with dynamic instantaneous power, and deliver a stable current for many hours.
There are many devices that utilize the 9V battery. Devices that accept the 9V battery include, but are not limited to, portable radios & TV’s, motorized toys, clocks, electronic games, cellular telephones, electronic photo-flashes, and more. The most common non-commercial use of 9V batteries is in smoke detectors. Considering the ability of a smoke detector to save lives, it is important to ensure a high quality 9V battery be utilized. Microbattery only carries high quality 9V batteries from reputable manufacturers. When it is time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors try the Rayovac Ultra Pro 9V battery 6-pack!
For those considering changing out there smoke detector batteries, please consider: Although 9V rechargeable batteries are refered to as "9V batteries", they tend to offer a weaker output (voltage) of about 8.4V than non-rechargeable 9V batteries. This may cause issues in smoke detectors by causing false or innaccuarate alarms. As smoke detectors can save lives, the proper 9V battery should be utilized for this applications. Alkaline 9V batteries are best for smoke detectors, but primary lithium 9V batteries can be used as well. Carbon zinc batteries should be avoided as leakage from old carbon zinc 9V batteries can cause corrosion on smoke detector connections.
We have a wide range of brand selections to choose from for 9V alkaline battery, 9V rechargeable battery, and 9V lithium battery.

What is 9V Battery?
A 9V battery is an extremely common battery that has many uses and is produced in many different chemistries. 9V Batterys are rectangular in shape and with dimensions 17.5 x 48.5 x 26.5 mm. They are unique in that both the cathode and anode (positive & negative terminals) are both located on the same face of the battery. 9v Battery characteristics and performance vary greatly depending on the chemistry, manufacturer, and rating. 9V batteries also offer both primary and secondary battery models (non-rechargeable & rechargeable). The 9V battery is a versatile, long lasting battery design that has more applications than can be named.
What Battery Is Equivalent To 9V?
The 9V battery was originally a part of the EverReady Power Pack (PP) line. The most common 9V battery in this line, is referred to as the PP3 battery. This is the typical 9V battery you would use today. The alkaline variant of the 9V battery is also referred to as 6LR61 and 006P. Other industry names for the 9V battery can be Duracell MN1604, Rayovac A1604, Energizer 522, Varta 4922, MX2400, 1604A, Radio Battery, Smoke Alarm Battery, 9V Block, and Krona.
How Long Does a 9V Battery Last?
The typical shelf life (storage in good condition) of an alkaline 9V battery will typically be about 10 years. The service life of a 9V battery can depend on a variety of factors. Most importantly it is determined by the chemistry/quality of the battery and the load you are putting it under. Applications that require a mild energy use, using a high quality battery can see battery life of up to 5 years. More demanding applications and adverse environmental conditions like heat and moisture can result in a shortening of battery service life.
How Many AMPS in a 9V Battery?
The amperage (AMPS) of a 9V battery will vary greatly depending chemistry, manufacturer, and rating of the battery. The 9V batteries with the highest AMPS will be those of lithium chemistry, while the lowest AMPS will typically be those of Carbon-Zinc or Ni-MH chemistries. Both groups of chemisties will have their advantages and disadvantages, for example, although the lithium 9V batteries are most powerful they also tend to be higher priced. The Carbon-Zinc although the weakest will typically be the cheapest option. The Ni-MH 9v battery has the advantage of being recharged. For your middle ground on performance and cost, your best bet is a 9V battery in alkaline chemistry.
How to Test a 9V Battery:
There are a multitude of battery testing devices on the market that will work with 9V batteries. Typically you can expect to connect a tester to the positive and negative ends of the battery, and then recieve a reading from your device. This reading is done by the tester sending a pulse through the battery. Testing your batteries should not normally drain them or shorten the overall life, if done correctly.
What Is The 9V Battery Used For?
The 9V battery is used in many different applications. 9 volt batteries can frequently be seen used in radios, smoke alarms, wall clocks, walkie-talkies, portable electronics, and much more. In the American prison system inmates have even been known to utilize the 9 volt battery to light cigarettes by adding a steel wool or wire to create an ultra hot contact point. This is not recommended as it can cause harm to you and your battery, but goes to show how many uses 9V batteries can have.
