can I use any 9 volt battery or does it have to be alkaline? I am changing the battery

I do not know why you could not use any 9-volt battery of the correct size. Alkaline batteries usually last longer. However, our training aid has not yet needed a replacement, so I cannot state that I have used a non-alkaline battery in it.

One 9 volt battery. I put in 9V2 Energizer long lasting. They seem to do very well. Maybe earlier models used the AA alkaline cells, but mine all use a single 9 volt. Hope this helps. I just replaced one a month ago after over a year of use in 100+ temperatures here in Arizona.

yes alkaline batteries work great, my camera was out for 45-50 days, taking several hundred photos day and night and when I took it down it still had 96% battery power.

10 years is the *SHELF LIFE* (estimated). When used in something, it won't magically last 10 years unless that something has a very low current draw. Alkaline 9V batteries might have 550-650 mAh, and Lithium 9V batteries might be 1200-1300, so really you're talking about doubling the capacity, but with a longer shelf life. In other words, don't pay attention to just the shelf life or you'll be in for a shock when it only lasts twice as long in a smoke detector... just bad marketing there, or customers paying attention to the wrong metrics of comparison.

I've used only alkaline batteries in them. But you can use any type of AA batteries. I like them a lot.

2 wonderfully inexpensive totally common AA batteries available almost anywhere! Like to pay a bit more? Go alkaline or lithium AA for longer lasting. They are also easy to change!

I'm sorry, but I don't remember. I think it was the AA batteries as I do not remember having to buy a 9v. I gave as a gift.

The User's Guide for this product, and stamped on the item itself, are model numbers of alkalines, (Duracell MN1500 or MX1500; Energizer E91, etc). However, it does say "Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect on the alarm operation." Thank you for calling my attention to this, because the rechargeables I use are NiMH. The item comes with batteries.

It can use rechargeable 9 volt battery just as any device using normal Duracell AA battery can also use rechargeable AA cells.

Alkaline batteries require a special charger designed for alkaline batteries. Amazon sells one at this link: Alkaline Battery Recharger for AAA, AA, C and D size Batteries

Better off using regular alkaline batteries, as long as you don't attempt to charge them.

If I am understanding your question correctly, the answer is no; you can also use alkaline batteries, but this recharger pack has a much better battery life and in the long run saves you more money.

Contrary to what others are saying here, these ARE rechargeable. ANY ALKALINE battery can be rechargeable; it's the CHARGER that matters--it MUST be for alkaline batteries. I have a few of them. Now they do not recharge very well, won't work for a smoke detector for example, but for other 9v devices that will work fine at 8-8.5v, 9v alkaline will recharge ok for those devices.

No alkaline can not be used , as for the 26650 rechargeable batteries it takes 2 or three with the extended piece which only extends time of usage .although when used on the highest output it will only last for about 45 minutes before it shuts off to not over heat the circuit then you must let it cool down and then it will work .
