Just found this one. A 9 volt rechareable battery that sustains a real 9 volts during it's cycle. Actually 8.9 - 9.1 volts. Previous 9 volt batteries only have 8.4 volts max, so I don't use them. The one-use 9v are expensive and many are counterfeit with short life, and the voltage drops with use. One caveat, the electronic circuit inside might cause some interference in your receiver, I don't know, but probably not. EBL 5400mWh charges via UBS cable. Says 1200 recharge cycles. Supports over-charging,over-discharge over-voltage, over-current and short circuit protection. Even has 2 year warranty. About $24 for four batteries or you can buy single quantity around $8 each. Recharge time two hours (with 2a charger). NOTE: The latest version is an upgrade to the higher voltage. Older models, just 8.4v so make sure you get the new version. I don't have a link, but search "EBL 5400". I’ve accidentally drained too many new 9v batteries by accidentally leaving them on or by bumping the on/off switch.

I have stop to use 9V batteries, low capacity.
The EBL 5400 is better but not enought. It can gives only 600 mah max....
Maybe is a good choice for multimeters etc....

You're probably right, no good.

But for everyone else, take a look. Says more power than disposable alkaline battery. One guy tested his at 660 mah. I saw anothe rbattery like this one pink in color got 311mah, Duracell alkaline got 580mah. Yes, it depends on how much current you draw.

I agree that it is better than every alkaline 9V and it is rechargeable:cool:.
But i prefer a 18650Li with a small step up inverter and i have about the double capacity...
A quality 18650 will serve u for many years.

Yes, 16850 is the way to go. I bought a battery box for six cells (they also one for four cells). It has step down to 5v but the charger port puts out 8.4v. But I have devices that use 9v battery. I tried a step up and it made a nasty noise on the Tx. That’s why I say the recharge 9v might cause interference. I hope these have shielding.

I'm losing hope fast. I saw a video a guy put the battery in his bass guitar and it sounded like a wind blowing. The ads show pictures of a microphone, a guitar. COuld be this guy had one of those foil wrapped capacitors in there backwards. I'll know early next week.

Got the 9v batteries today. Put one in my Contraption receiver and buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Worthless. I put one in the Eliminator e-120 and I monitored the output tone. I couldn't hear any buzz. So don't buy these if you are using them in a receiver. I didn't try to isolate the battery from the electronics. Possibly some kind of shield like aluminum foil run though a capacitor to ground. Might try that some time. I got four batteries and the lowest voltage was 9.08v. I put them on the charger and they are still charging.

I used a 2a charger and even at that voltage it took three hours, maybe more. The Eliminator e-120 worked fine. I tried one in an old transistor radio and it seemed fine. My guess it spews out at 150 kHz.

150 Khz.... Bad frequency for our electronic lrls...:frown:
