How may joules of energy are in a typical 9V battery? |
[Edit]
Answer
More to the point, how many joules can one get out of a typical 9V battery. This varies somewhat depending upon the load. At low drain currents, (2mA), a typical manganese alkaline 9V battery will provide around 16,000J over its lifetime, assuming it starts out fresh and is discharged to 1V per cell. One can squeeze out a little - not much - more if you run it down to completely dead.
At a 10mA draw, you drop down below 15,000J, at 100mA, only about 12,000J.
The above is based on discharge curves for Duracell MN1604
