Has anyone used Rechargeable 9V batteries with this detector?

YES, I DO. Never any problems with it. I would just recommend a good brand name one. I love this unit and hope you have fun..and luck with it!!!

These are good units. I have bought 4 sets and have served me well. They should work with a 9volt battery. Battery will only last about 8 hours max. I have not done it on these units but on all my others I have I do not see why it would not work. If you want I can try it and see. Let me know if you want me too. phh57@att.net

I have to assume you don't have a 9v DC outlet (cigarette lighter) It would depend on the car & how easy it would be to get to and work on the fuse box/ and run wires to the dash area. BUT, if your thinking of wiring in a DC outlet for this Detector, you might as well purchase a different unit that is designed to utilize the full advantages of DC power. That is unless you already own this unit. Myself, I've purchased 4 Eveready NiMH 2500mAh batteries, charge the 4, then recharge 2 used as needed while keeping the other 2 for spares.

It uses one 9-volt battery. I have used both disposable and rechargeable, both without any issues.

Yes, I believe they can. I have used several for that purpose. The problem is that I had very unsatisfactory results with these batteries in smoke/CO2 detectors. As I recall, these are supposed to have a good long shelf life but if you buy, PLEASE check the "expiration date" (so to speak) on your purchase. I'm sure my order was the exception rather than the rule, but my purchased box of these batteries had only 3 years or so remaining on the estimated life expectancy. I don't use the ones I still have...I'm back to Duracell or Energizer. The $ savings was tempting, but all in all, this purchase did NOT work out well for me.

I use a 9v battery. You will need to adjust the battery connectors a little, as it tends to be a little wide.

No, it does not. You just connect a battery. It is not part of a detector network. Also, it is extremely low quality; mine only lasted 6 months. The company expects you to pay shipping and a $10 fee to honor the warranty, which should be illegal. And, by the way Marv, you could put a little more effort into writing a cohesive sentence, couldn't you? You know, one with correct capitalization and punctuation? Sorry, just a peeve of mine I guess.

For the receiver, yep, they devour 9volts. I used to get about a week out mine before i plugged them in.... newer models (wrl-b?) Have a 9v socket so you can plug them in. I''ve also wired a 9v battery connector (from radio shack) to a power supply (red neck engineering) for a unit that didn't come so equipped. I use mine for varmit sensors and don't have much of a need to go moblie for long periods, so it works for me. As for the sensors, I''ve picked up lithium ion rechargables from Amazon... My sensors can run for 3-4 weeks... Happy hunting!...

Yes it does. There are two chrome buttons (contacts) on the left front for testing 9volt batteries. You also must set the dial to 9V. Hope that helps.

Batteries were included, and the ones in my package worked. I haven't used it heavily enough to tell how long. But 9V batteries are readily available when they run out.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.

I had the old model 9CO5 (not Low Profile). Batteries included lasted 2.5 years, replacements lasted 4.5 years, detector lasted 7 years, 1 month.

Yes, the cheap battery that came with it died quickly. Yes, they now have a 9V rechargeable by Energizer. They have rechargers on Amazon for about $10.

Rechargable batteries will work, but number of scan will be less. Rechargable batteries has 1.2 volts compare to 1.5volts nonrechargable batteries.

The one we bought used 2 AA batteries but maybe later models or earlier ones use the 9v.

Not these. I have used rechargeable lithium 9v's but they're pretty expensive. These procells are great for 1-time use
