RadioShack Batteries

Alkaline batteries do not have a specific mAh rating, as the capacity of the battery varies along a curve based on the current drain. We offer two types of alkaline batteries:

  • Enercell Plus Alkalines: For use in devices such as digital cameras which have a high current drain
  • Enercell Alkalines: For use in devices with a moderate to low current drain

The current drain of the PRO-89 varies by usage; however, it has a maximum current drain of 300 mA. For the PRO-89 Racing Scanner, we recommend the Enercell Alkaline batteries, as shown below. Our webpage comparing the Premium vs. Standard Enercell Batteries has more detailed information on the new Enercell Plus alkalines.

While alkaline capacity depends on how it is used, alkaline batteries can be safely assumed to last longer than any rechargeable battery used in the same product. Generally, alkalines can last from 40% to over 100% more than the same size rechargeable Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries.

"AA" Enercell® Alkaline Batteries (12-Pack)
