Each cell measures 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm and delivers 9V nominal voltage using alkaline chemistry, providing higher capacity and longer runtime than standard zinc-carbon 9V batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, wireless microphones, guitar pedals, multimeters and other medium to high-drain devices, the JCB Super Alkaline range maintains stable voltage under load and performs reliably in temperatures down to -10°C. The 9V PP3 format uses a snap connector with both male and female terminals on one end, fitting standard UK and European 9V battery compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach battery carries a long shelf life when stored at room temperature, making the 3-pack suitable for stocking spares for safety-critical devices like smoke alarms where battery replacement schedules are annual or biennial. The super alkaline formulation delivers up to 30% more capacity than economy alkaline cells, extending the interval between battery changes in frequently-used devices such as active guitar electronics or wireless transmitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJCB Super Alkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCell Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCell Composition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat devices use 9V PP3 batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, wireless microphones, guitar pedals, multimeters, guitar active pickups, radio transmitters and some older portable radios all use the 9V PP3 format. The snap connector is standard across UK and European devices requiring 9V power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long do these batteries last in a smoke detector?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuntime depends on the specific detector model and how often it self-tests. Most modern ionisation smoke detectors draw 8-40µA in standby, giving a JCB Super Alkaline 9V a service life of 12-18 months before the low-battery chirp activates. Photoelectric detectors may differ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan these be used in guitar pedals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Guitar effects pedals and active pickups that require 9V power accept PP3 alkaline batteries. The higher capacity of JCB Super Alkaline cells compared to standard zinc-carbon means longer performance between changes, especially in analogue pedals that draw continuous current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shelf life?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkaline 9V batteries stored at room temperature typically retain 85-90% of their capacity after 3-5 years. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing the terminals to conductive materials that could cause self-discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JCB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46074507362571,"sku":"S18756","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/S18756_1_d81624d1-51b7-400a-8fc1-f797225cfd5b.jpg?v=1730314013","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/jcb-9v-pp3-alkaline-batteries-3-pack","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
