Product Information
Full details
The Lighthouse 9V USB-C Rechargeable Batteries are for users needing consistent 9V power for devices like smoke alarms, microphones, or test equipment. Their key benefit is providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to disposable batteries with convenient USB-C recharging. A potential caveat is the 400mAh capacity, which may be lower than some high-drain disposable options for extremely intensive applications. This pack includes two 9V Li-ion batteries, each with a 400mAh capacity, capable of up to 1200 charge cycles, and comes with a USB-A to USB-C charger.

FAQs
How long does a full charge typically last?
Runtime varies significantly based on the device's power consumption. For typical low-drain devices like smoke alarms, a charge can last for months. For higher-drain devices like audio equipment, expect several hours of continuous use.
Can I use any USB-C cable to charge these batteries?
While the batteries use USB-C for charging, it is recommended to use the provided 2-in-1 USB-A to USB-C cable or a high-quality USB-C cable. Ensure the power source provides adequate amperage for efficient charging.
How do I know when the batteries are fully charged?
The charging indicator lights on the batteries will signal the charging status. Typically, the light will illuminate during charging and change color or turn off when the battery reaches full capacity. Refer to the product manual for specific indicator behavior.
What is the warranty period for these batteries?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for detailed warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Are these batteries suitable for all 9V devices?
These batteries are designed to replace standard 9V alkaline batteries. However, they may not be suitable for devices requiring exceptionally high current draw or specific voltage regulation beyond a stable 9V.
How does the lifespan of 1200 charge cycles translate to cost savings?
A battery with 1200 charge cycles can replace approximately 1200 disposable batteries. If a disposable 9V battery costs $2, then 1200 batteries would cost $2400. The rechargeable batteries offer a significant cost saving over their lifespan.
Can I charge one battery at a time?
Yes, the included 2-in-1 cable allows you to charge both batteries simultaneously, but you can also connect just one battery to charge if needed.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the USB power source is active and providing sufficient power. Check that the USB-A to USB-C cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Verify the battery is correctly inserted into the charger.
Device not powering on with rechargeable battery
Confirm the battery is fully charged. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals aligned properly. Test the battery in a different compatible device to rule out device-specific issues. Check device specifications to confirm it supports 9V rechargeable batteries.
Short battery life
The device might have a high power draw. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Consider that usage patterns can significantly impact runtime. For very high-drain devices, consider if disposable batteries with higher instantaneous discharge rates are more suitable.
Charging indicator not working
Try a different USB port or charger. If the issue persists, the charging indicator may be faulty. However, if the battery still charges and powers devices, it might still be functional. Contact customer support if charging is completely interrupted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the two 9V rechargeable batteries and the USB-A to USB-C charging cable.
- Connect the USB-A end of the cable to a standard USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank, computer USB port).
- Connect the USB-C end(s) of the cable to the charging ports on the 9V batteries. The charging indicator light will illuminate.
- Allow approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge. The indicator light will typically change color or turn off when charging is complete.
- Once charged, insert the batteries into your compatible 9V devices.
Compatibility:
These 9V batteries are designed to replace standard 9V alkaline batteries in devices that utilize a 9V power source. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms
- Microphones (e.g., dynamic microphones, wireless systems)
- Musical instruments and effects pedals
- Electronic test and measurement equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes)
- Walkie-talkies and portable radios
- Digital clocks and toys requiring 9V power
Care:
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the batteries, as this may cause damage and void the warranty.
- Use only the provided USB-A to USB-C charging cable or a compatible USB-C charger. Ensure the charger meets the device's power requirements.
- Recharge the batteries periodically, even if not in use, to maintain battery health (e.g., every 3-6 months).
- Clean battery contacts if necessary with a dry cloth to ensure a good connection.
