Test/review of Soshine 9V LiIon 650mAh (White)

It is best to use a LiIon charger, but a normal 9V charger can be used, then termination will be done by the over voltage protection.

Thanks! These sound nice.

Can anyone help me understand the Voltage part of this battery?
I want 9V battery for my Bayangtoys X16 drone Tx.

The remote controller says it needs 6AA 1.5 V batteries, so total is 9V

If I read the instructions on this battery it says : “Rated Voltage: 7.4V”

Then how come this is 9v ? If anyone can recommend me a good battery which can maintain 9v then I would appreciate the help

Alkaline batteries are 1.5V when full and below 1V when empty, this means a 9V battery is first supposed to be empty below 6V.
A 9V LiIon battery is 8.4V when fully charged and will be empty when at 6V, this matches fairly well with the 6 Alkaline.

Most equipment will work fine with a LiIon 9V battery, but there are probably a few exceptions.

I have a collection of discharge curves for 9V batteries with different chemistry here:

WoW @ that comparison sheet.

May i know your opinion on which battery to buy for my Tx which requires 6 1.5V AA batteries?

I would not replace AA batteries with a 9V battery, I doubt it can deliver power enough (A LiIon 9V probably can for some time).
My favorite AA replacement is eneloop either original or rebranded, as long as they are charged correctly and not run totally empty they may well last 10 years (That is the 1900-2000mAh type)

Good post!

When you say “(A LiIon 9V probably can for some time)” Which LiIon 9V battery are you referring to ?
A:) I saw those eneloop rechargeable batteries but they have 1.2 V instead of recommended 1.5 V, so I use 6 1.2V , it would be 7.2V

B:) Can I get 9v LiPo battery ?

It is the same story, NiMH (Eneloop) starts at about 1.4V when full and are empty at about 1.0V, this matches Alkaline fairly well (Except a few devices)
I do also have a lot of AA/AAA curves: Battery test-review 18650 comparator
Top part is rechargeable batteries (NiMH), bottom part is primary batteries (Alkaline)

9V blocks is two LiPo cells.
A good place to check for larger LiPo batteries is Hobby King:

Look for two cell type.

To charge these cells you need a “Hobby Charger”, they can also be found at there, but notice that many of them is 12V powered, not mains powered.

I thought 2 cell is 2s which means 3.7 x 2 = 7.4 V

Am I right?

As I wrote above that matches Alkaline fine enough.

Oki doki bro. Thanks

will this battery be able to deliver the 9v performance?

9.6 V 2400mAh

When charged it will start a bit above 11V and then drop to 8 volt during use.
It is eight AA sized NiMH cells.
I doubt they are low self discharge types, i.e. they will self discharge in less than a couple of months

If its rechargeable then volt should be 1.2V and 8 AA means 9.6V? Right?

My concern is will it burn my circuit board if i supply more than 9 V?

Thanks for taking time to help me out

No, for rechargeable batteries the voltage is some sort of average voltage, that means when charged the voltage will be higher and when empty the voltage will be lower.
At higher load a NiMH battery will have higher voltage than a Alkaline cell, even though it is only rated 1.2V and Alkaline is rated 1.5V. I wrote a bit about it here: Comparison of AA battery chemistry

thanks man

so last question then I am done eating your brain

If i use that 9.6V battery will it burn the electronics inside compared to 9 V LiIon rechargeable battery you said could give me some performance

Conclusion

The voltage printed on the cells, do not have much relation to actual voltage when using the cell.
Alkaline marked with 1.5 volt has lower voltage than NiMH marked with 1.2 volt at higher loads (Like a flashlight on high). At very low loads alkaline will be better than NiMH.
Lithium is the top performing chemistry for high voltage, high capacity and fairly high current at the same time (It is also the best at low temperature).
NiZn has too high voltage and with the short lifetime it is not really interesting.
LiIon may be interesting for devices that requires more voltage than NiMH can provide, but watch out for the self discharge.

+1 for this info man!

Probably not, but there is no guarantee.

After reading that article on actual voltage and voltage under load, I have decided to buy eneloop AA 1.2 rechargeable batteries. I hope i get desired voltage to run the Tx
Even though it needs 9V
