It replaces part number 009446-3429-000 in the 9440 RALS unit. The 9440 RALS is a high-output portable searchlight used in emergency response, law enforcement, and field operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9440 RALS platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 9440 RALS uses a dedicated multi-cell Ni-MH pack at 9.6V to match the onboard driver's voltage rail and charge termination logic. Swapping to a different voltage or chemistry trips the charge controller and prevents full charge cycles from completing correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through full charge and discharge cycles on the 9440 RALS driver. The BMS delta-V termination detected peak charge correctly, and the pack held voltage within spec under the high-current draw of the main lamp driver across multiple cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-cell replacement protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 9440 RALS pack contains multiple sub-cells in series. Never mix this new pack with any remaining original cells. Mismatched cells cause the weakest cell to invert polarity under high-current draw, permanently reducing capacity and damaging that cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the 9440 RALS steps down output before the battery indicator shows low\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe 9440 RALS driver uses brownout protection that reduces lamp output before the battery reaches full depletion. Ni-MH cells drop voltage sharply at end of discharge, and the driver steps down to protect the pack from deep cell reversal damage. This is intentional — the driver is reading actual cell voltage, not the fuel gauge indicator. If the light dims noticeably during use, the pack is near the end of its usable charge even if the indicator hasn't triggered yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003e9440 RALS not reaching full brightness after charging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH packs that have been stored discharged for extended periods develop voltage depression in one or more cells, preventing the pack from delivering the full 9.6V the driver expects at load. The charge controller may show a completed charge, but resting voltage under load sags below the driver's operating threshold. Run two full charge-discharge cycles back to back using the standard Peli charger to allow the cells to recover. If full output doesn't return after two cycles, measure pack voltage under load — anything below 8.4V under draw indicates a cell that won't recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377478107226,"sku":"BWCS-PEL944FT-1","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377478139994,"sku":"BWCS-PEL944FT-2","price":88.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377478172762,"sku":"BWCS-PEL944FT-3","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PEL944FT-1.webp?v=1778767154","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/peli-9440-rals-replacement-battery-96v-5000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
