The charge last longer than i was expecting

Amazing rechargeable batteries. Easy to tell if they are charging or charged fully. They seem to last 2x longer than my other batteries.

have used both of the batteries through several charge and use cycles and both work perfectly fine. They hold their charges very well and recharge faster than expected. I like the built in red/green LED indicator that tells you when the batteries are fully charged.

I wanted to take my guitar amp replacing, but relatively high power consumption, Boss IR-2 to a gig with nothing else. This battery can be installed inside the pedal and delivers the required power for a 3 set gig with margin. It delivers the 500 milliamp-hours at 9 volts it advertises (4.5 watt-hours) when I tested it. At least one other brand did not come close to its power specs. BTW an alkaline 9 volt battery is also about 4.5 watt-hours.[edit 1] Now I am having a problem getting the battery to start up.[edit 2] After some experimenting I’ve determined the USB C charging connection only works with most USB C cables and power adapters. USB A to C (or Micro USB) is bulletproof. I think the battery’s internal switching converter (3.6 volt lithium ion to 9 volt) is hanging in the off state when left inside the pedal. Two different stomp boxes exhibited the same problem. The battery isn’t discharged and connecting it to a USB charger resets the battery to an operating state. I am now trying Command Strip mounting the battery to the pedal and cabling it to the pedal external 9 volt input only when using the pedal. For recharging this also is convenient. I’ll report back when I determine this works. I have a Tonex One on back order and for it the external approach is the only option anyway.[edit 3] Working perfectly as photographed.

High quality batteries. Glad I sprung for PBE.

One out of the two batteries will not work. I didn't put them in use immediately so past the amazon return window.If you decide to purchase I recommend testing immediately so you have the amazon return option in case you get one that is defective. Have been attempting to contact the customer service with no luck. No phone number that I have found so far. Sent two emails with no reply. I have other sizes of their batteries and have been happy with them. The one of these 9v that works seem to be on par with my other batteries from them. Just can't justify the cost if you are risking getting a non-operable battery. Lack of customer service is super disappointing. Can't seem to be able to leave a review on their site either.

I bought these to use in a TENS machine (electrical muscle stimulator for stiff muscles). Ordinary 9v batteries only last for a couple of sessions, but these can be recharged and reused. The cost for each is roughly double the cost of an ordinary 9v battery, so after about two recharges you are money ahead, plus you produce less electronic waste. I also have these in AA and AAA sizes. Love them all.
