Batteries and my Stingray

"A 9v battery is a 9v battery.

Regardless of the brand name the outside dimensions are the same."



Simply not true...see:

I don't think they are the same size.

I don't think they are the same size.

I posted these dimensions a while back as a Duracell is an extremely tight fit in my 83' Ray; they both last a really long time which is great!

Just measured 2 Duracells and 2 Energizers; tolerances were within a few thousandths for each brand

Energizer = .998" wide x 1.78" long x .640" deep
Duracell = 1.017 x 1.740 x .653 deep

While they may be shorter the Duracells proved to be wider and deeper by a significant percentage.

As I recall, Procells also measure like Energizers

I don't think they are the same size.

Simply wrap some tape around it if it's too small....
