Monimoto 9 uses a 900mAh rechargeable Lithium battery. This battery is not meant to be replaced, do not attempt to disassemble M9 device and remove the battery.
Monimoto 7 uses 2x Lithium AA batteries. You may use any brand but make sure they are Lithium and not Alkaline/Zinc type. We recommend Energizer Lithium or Varta Lithium.
Lithium batteries are more expensive than their Alkaline equivalents, but perform for a much longer lifespan. In comparison, Zinc batteries last ~ 20 times shorter, Alkaline ~ 8-10 times shorter.
Furthermore, Lithium Batteries hold on to their full voltage to almost the end of their charge life, while alkaline batteries decrease their voltage output throughout their performance.
Therefore, to have a device that works best and lasts a long time, we recommend that you only use Lithium batteries
IMPORTANT: You MUST NOT use rechargeable batteries. They have different electrical parameters and we cannot guarantee Monimoto will work properly or that the correct battery level will be displayed.
DO NOT use new and old batteries together as this will lead to the false battery level indication in the app.
Monimoto (MM1/2/5/6) comes with two CR123A batteries.
DO NOT use Mitsai batteries as they are not compatible.
WE ALSO DO NOT RECOMMEND USING DURACELL OR PANASONIC BATTERIES.
Although Duracell and Panasonic batteries are very good, due to certain physical and chemical characteristics of the batteries, the device is not able to notify the owner of possible low batteries in time.
Our recommended batteries are Energizer or Varta. Both brands are easy to find.
