Product Information

Full details

The Eveready 6V Lantern Battery (Model 1209) is an essential power solution for users who rely on high-drain lanterns, radios, and emergency lighting systems that require consistent 6V output. Offering a durable, high-impact, and leak-proof plastic construction, this battery provides dependable performance for basic power needs; however, users should note that it is a zinc-carbon, single-use battery, meaning it is best suited for low-drain, intermittent use rather than high-intensity, continuous applications.
