The nine-volt battery, or 9-volt battery, is an electric battery that supplies a nominal voltage of 9 volts. Actual voltage measures 7.2 to 9.6 volts, depending on battery chemistry. Batteries of various sizes and capacities are manufactured; a very common size is known as PP3, introduced for early transistor radios.
A Battery: Eveready 742: 1.5 V: Metal tabs H: 101.6 L: 63.5 W: 63.5 Used to provide power to the filament of a vacuum tube. B Battery: Eveready 762-S: 45 V: Threaded posts H: 146 L: 104.8 W: 63.5 Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies.
Production of some Ever Ready batteries (PP6, PP7 and PP9) continued in the UK until 1999 by Univercell Battery Company, near the old Dawley factory, using the original machinery. Univercell moved to Stafford Park 12 and was sold to the AceOn Group in 2012; AceOn continued to manufacture Ever Ready batteries for specialist applications.
The most popular method of determining an animal's location underwater requires the tag to acquire light levels throughout the day. Observing the length of the day, from when the tag observed the first light until the last light, the tag can determine its latitudinal location (with accuracy exceeding 1 degree).
Duracell also manufactures specialty batteries, including NiMH rechargeable batteries and batteries for cameras, watches, hearing aids, etc. Their two main battery brands are "CopperTop (Plus)," marketed as longer-lasting, and "Ultra," directed mainly at users of digital devices and devices that need more power.
The nomenclature system devised in October 1990 actually uses the maximum outer dimensions of the battery itself (including the flat-top terminals, but not other types of terminals), not the dimensions of its constituent cells; and the system specifies the height of "non-round batteries" in integral mm, not tenths of mm as is the case for round ...
Argos Oil was founded in 1983 by Peter Goedvolk, Argos oil CEO then. This company merged with North Sea Group on 25 October 2011, and in March 2012 Argos North Sea Group was founded. Since then the new company has been the major sponsor of Argos-Shimano , a professional Dutch cycling team.
Batteries Plus (stylized as Batteries+, formerly Batteries Plus Bulbs stylized as Batteries+Bulbs) is an American retail chain of 600+ franchise outlets [2] founded in 1988 that sells and recycles [3] [4] [5] batteries of varying size and voltage that provide power to operate consumer electronics, watches, cell phones, digital cameras, automobiles and other devices that require DC power.
