Sony Rechargeable NiMH Battery 9V

Features:

• Rechargeable and Reusable:
  • Helps reduce waste compared to disposable alkaline batteries, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective over time.
• Consistent Performance:
  • Provides stable voltage during discharge, ensuring consistent performance for devices.
• Broad Compatibility:
  • Works with devices requiring 9V batteries, such as:
    • Smoke detectors
    • Wireless microphones
    • Remote controls
    • Guitar pedals
    • Medical equipment
• Environmentally Friendly:
  • NiMH batteries do not contain harmful heavy metals like cadmium or mercury, making them safer for the environment.
• Low Memory Effect:
  • NiMH batteries have a negligible memory effect compared to NiCd batteries, meaning they can be recharged at any level without significant capacity loss.
• Compact and Lightweight:
  • Ideal for portable devices where weight and size are important.

Specifications:

• Battery Type: NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride)
• Voltage: 9V Nominal Voltage
• Capacity: 450mAh
• Cycle Life: 1000 charge/discharge cycles, depending on usage and charging conditions.
• Size and Dimensions:
  • Standard 9V size (commonly referred to as PP3 or rectangular 9V battery size).
  • Dimensions: Approximately 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm.
• Self-Discharge Rate:
  • NiMH batteries have a moderate self-discharge rate, meaning they lose charge when not in use. However, modern versions often incorporate low self-discharge (LSD) technology.
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to +50°C
• Charging Time: Depending on the charger used, it might take 6-8 hours for a full charge using a standard NiMH battery charger.

Advantages Over Disposable 9V Batteries:

• Cost-Effective: Rechargeable batteries save money in the long run, especially for devices with high power consumption.
• Sustainability: Reduces battery waste, aligning with eco-friendly practices.
• Performance: While initial voltage may be slightly lower than disposable alkaline batteries (typically 9.6V for rechargeable vs. 9V for alkaline), the performance is steady over time.

Usage Tips:

• Proper Charging:
  • Use a compatible NiMH battery charger designed for 9V batteries to prevent overcharging and maximize lifespan.
• Storage:
  • Store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme heat or cold, which can reduce capacity and lifespan.
• Discharge and Recharge:
  • For optimal performance, periodically fully discharge and recharge the battery.
• Compatibility Check:
  • Ensure the battery fits your device, as some compact 9V devices may have tight compartments.
