If standard 9v size fits, Maha or Tysonic, no question.

I run maha powerex, they are actually a bit smaller than regulars, and they have lots of, shall we say, balls. I think they are better than regular 9vs in all ways. THey are lighter too. Some people say that they don't last as long as good disposable 9vs, and that's true, but you can recharge them, so they actually last 1000 times longer.

I never have trouble playing all day on one. When I ran disposables I insisted on using brand new ones at the beginning of each tournament because there is really no way to know how much they have left. These when I pick them off the charger I know for sure. Has helped my confidence a lot, I will never run disposables again, there is no reason to.

Although the Mah is usually higher in alkaline batteries, NiMH will discharge further, which means that it will yeild more power. NiMH discharges about 80% of its capacity, whereas alkalines only discharge to about 50% or less.

IIRC, the Spyder 9.6v NiMH batteries are 170Mah.
