Description
This is the 9V block battery, supplied twelve to a box. Each cell is alkaline, holds a nominal 9 volts, and carries the designations printed along the end of the box: 6LR61, EN22, 6AM6, E Block and MN1604. If the manual for your device names any one of those, this is the cell it wants. The shape is unmistakable: a small rectangular block with both terminals on one face, a stud and a socket that clip onto the matching snap connector inside the compartment. The Industrial line arrives in a plain tray box rather than on individual blister cards.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are the usual reason a household keeps a 9V in the drawer, and a run of them across a rented property or an office is the usual reason to buy twelve at once. The same block powers guitar and bass effects pedals, active pickups, wireless microphones and beltpacks, multimeters and clamp meters, and older transistor radios. Alkaline chemistry is a good match for the steady low to moderate drain those jobs ask for, and it is the chemistry stated on this box.
One unit here is the box of twelve cells, and the minimum order is six, sold in multiples of six, so the smallest purchase brings seventy two cells. Alkaline cells are not rechargeable, so they go to a supermarket collection point or a household waste site rather than into a charger. Leave them in the tray until they are wanted, because on a 9V both terminals sit on the same face and loose blocks can short against each other or against anything metal. We stock the wider Energizer battery range beside this one, including AA, AAA, C, D and lithium coin cells.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my smoke alarm?
Most standalone and mains backup alarms take a single 9V block on a snap connector, so check that the alarm or its manual names 9V, 6LR61 or MN1604 before you order.
How many batteries do I actually receive?
Each unit is one box of twelve 9V cells, and the minimum order is six of those boxes, so the smallest order brings seventy two cells in total.
My old battery has a different code on it. Is this the same cell?
6LR61, EN22, 6AM6, E Block and MN1604 are all printed on this box, and they all name the same 9V alkaline block in different naming conventions.
Can these be recharged?
No. These are alkaline primary cells, made to be used once and then recycled. A charger is for rechargeable chemistries such as NiMH, not for alkaline cells like these.
What does the Industrial packaging change?
The cells come in a plain twelve count tray box rather than on blister cards, which is quicker to work through when you are replacing several alarms or devices in one go.
