Title: Year 2025, Europe run out of branded 9V Block NIMH (8.4V)
Post by: Kiriakos GR on August 26, 2025, 09:42:29 PM
I am this week reviewing European market regarding availability of 9V Block NIMH (8.4V) and (9.6V).

And I did a sad discovery, all major shops they have only two or three brands available.
And from these branded products there is available only a product per brand.

For example ...
Duracell 9V Rechargeable 6HR61/DC1604 8,4V - NIMH 170mAh   
Weight 40 g ± 1 g
Internal resistance approx. 20mΩ

Varta 56722 9V Ready2Use rechargeable battery Ni-MH 1.2V/200mAh
Weight /piece 36g 
Internal resistance (unknown)

And in Greece I have an third option which I am exploring, and this is Powerex 9V Block NIMH (8.4V) 300mAh

Regarding Duracell and Varta, I am unable to find on-line any technical specification documents.  :P

By checking 9V Block chargers specifications.

VARTA charger (two models), both supply 35 mA as charging current.
