The Eveready Super Heavy-Duty Battery is designed to provide reliable power. It's made from carbon zinc with a metal housing for durability and protection. This Eveready battery is ideal for clocks, flashlights, radios and other low-drain devices. It contains no added mercury or cadmium and has an operating temperature range of 20 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal for clocks, flashlights, radios and other devices that are low-drain. 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.
