Side-by-Side Comparison Cylindrical Cells

9V Battery vs. D Battery

Comparing 2 standards across 7 specifications. 7 key differences identified.

Comparing:
9V Battery
D Battery

A 9V battery (IEC designation 6LR61, commonly called PP3) is a rectangular battery measuring approximately 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm with two snap terminals. Alkaline 9V cells output 9.0V nominal from six internal 1.5V cells in series, with typical capacity around 400-600 mAh.
