Description
This is a single Energizer Recharge Power Plus cell in the familiar 9V block shape, the one with two snap terminals on the top. It is a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable rated at 175mAh, and it arrives pre-charged, so it can go straight into a device rather than sitting on a charger overnight before its first use. The pack also carries a claim that it is the world's first battery made with 7% recycled batteries.
A 9V block is a single cell purchase rather than a set, and it usually sits in equipment that runs quietly for months: smoke alarms, wireless microphones and belt packs, guitar effects pedals, multimeters and test gear, and older transistor radios. Those are the jobs where a rechargeable pays for itself, because a pedal board or a mic pack that empties a 9V every few weeks gets expensive on disposables over a year. If your device takes a snap-on 9V connector, this is the shape it wants.
Recharging needs a charger rated for 9V NiMH blocks. Many AA and AAA chargers have no contacts for a block cell at all, so check what your charger accepts before you rely on it. The 175mAh figure is the capacity of the cell, and how long that lasts depends entirely on what the device draws: a low-drain alarm or meter will run far longer between charges than a high-drain transmitter. We sell this one as a single cell, with a minimum order of 12 and further orders in multiples of 12. It sits alongside our other Energizer batteries, including AA, AAA, C and D alkaline, the 9V alkaline and the lithium coin cells.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit anything that takes a PP3 9V battery?
Yes. It is the standard 9V block with the two snap terminals on top, so any device with a snap-on 9V connector takes it.
Does it arrive ready to use?
The pack states that the cell is pre-charged, so it can go into a device on the day it arrives rather than needing a first charge.
What sort of charger do I need for it?
One rated for 9V NiMH blocks. Plenty of AA and AAA chargers have no block contacts at all, so check your charger first.
How long will one charge last in my device?
The capacity is 175mAh and no runtime is printed on the pack. A low-drain alarm or meter runs far longer than high-drain gear.
How many cells do I receive?
One cell per unit. The minimum order is 12 units, ordered in multiples of 12, so the smallest purchase is twelve single cells.
My device says not to use rechargeable batteries. Should I?
Follow the device maker's instruction. Some equipment is specified for disposable cells only, and that guidance comes from whoever built the device.
