Description
This is the 9V alkaline cell in its familiar rectangular PP3 form, sold ten to a box under the Procell Intense name. The two snap studs on top, one male and one female, mean it can only go onto a clip one way round, so there is no wrong way to fit it. Nominal voltage is 9V and the chemistry is alkaline, the standard pairing for this size. The retail box is printed for high drain devices, which is the duty this version of the cell is sold against.
A 9V cell turns up in a narrow but demanding set of equipment. Wireless microphone belt packs and handhelds, guitar pedals and active pickups, smoke alarms, multimeters and clamp meters, alarm panel sounders and a good deal of test gear all run on one. If you look after a venue, a rehearsal room, a studio, a school hall or a maintenance store, these are the cells that live in the drawer and get grabbed the moment a belt pack drops out mid session. Buying them boxed rather than in twos keeps a working stock on the shelf instead of a trip to the shop.
One box holds ten cells, and the box is what counts as a single unit here. The minimum order is 50, sold in multiples of 50, so this line suits a store cupboard rather than a one off replacement. Alkaline cells of this kind are single use and are not designed to be recharged, so plan for replacements rather than a charger. Other Duracell cells we stock include lithium coin sizes such as CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016, silver oxide watch cells and a CR123 lithium, if the same cupboard needs those too.

Frequently Asked
Will these fit anything that takes a PP3 cell?
Yes. PP3 and 6LR61 are the standard names for this 9V block, so any device built around that size will take one.
What does high drain mean for me?
The retail box is printed for high drain devices, meaning kit that pulls hard and steadily, such as wireless microphones and active audio gear.
Can I recharge them?
No. These are alkaline primary cells, which are made to be used once and then recycled, rather than returned to a charger.
How many cells do I get, and what is the smallest order?
Each box holds ten 9V cells. The minimum order is 50 boxes, sold in multiples of 50, which is a trade quantity.
Will one fit a smoke alarm?
If the alarm takes a 9V PP3 cell, yes. Check the compartment for the block shape and the two snap studs before ordering.
