PP3

9 Volt (or PP3) batteries are quite common, accounting for about 5% of all batteries sold in the UK in 2001, according to the British Battery Manufacturers Association. They are used in smoke detectors, telephones, microphones, and a wide range of other devices that need a higher operating voltage than the 1.5 Volt normally delivered by an alkaline battery.

The alkaline PP3 battery is in fact a small engineering marvel, packing six 1.5V alkaline cells into its small rectangular package, and connecting them to the battery terminals such that the operating voltage becomes 9V.

PP3 batteries are also available using Lithium technology, or as NiMH rechargeable batteries. The lithium PP3 battery packs more punch than the alkaline version, and is thus ideally suited for critical applications, such as in smoke detectors. For frequent users of 9V batteries, the rechargeable version quickly becomes more economical than repeatedly buying new pre-charged batteries.
