They are the same size as the 'standard' 9-V alkaline batteries. I've had no problem putting them in devices

No, they are regular 9 volt batteries. They are great. I used them to replace the batteries in the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors so I won't get that 3AM wake up every six months. Plus, I used one for the battery backup in my alarm clock. A regular battery would last about six months without use. I unplugged my alarm clock for two days to test the batteries and it still works. Didn't have to set the time on my alarm clock. I highly recommend these.

No, they fit into all my microphones as regular batteries did and last much longer...

No, they are not. The corners are ever-so-slightly less rounded than a typical consumer battery, but I've not found that to make fit a problem.

Same size. Using them smoke alarms so I don't have to replace batteries every 6 months. Thinking we can go 4 years

You can turn the answering machine off...and I do believe that you can also turn down the answer volume. It's at my parents house , so I would have to check.

I'm wondering why they have that. It can be annoying. I have not found a way to turn it off. But the tape is a great idea.

You can write to Bitdefender and perhaps, if you complain enough, they might turn it off. It is not possible for the user to turn it off.

Hi Matthew.. You can stop it and continue on, it does not clear automatically,you have to press the clear button.

THANK YOU!! I thought this would be a handy feature....but, in reality, it's been annoying.

I am not sure. I bought this for my grand son, and his mother allows him to bring it over so he can use the internet. I should think that you could block, or time them. There might be an app or two, that can do what you want. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

To be totally honest I have yet to run into this problem. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I could offer up a multitude of possible solutions but I'm sure you have tried most of them.

Hi Donna: There is no way to turn this timer off. It serves it purpose and that's about it. I guess we get what we pay for.

That is what I did. Would not do it again did not help with anything. It would flair up really bad until I removed them. I also heats up much faster now.

When I tried this I could not get it to shut down by pressing enter. How did you get it to work??

It appears this has already been answered for you. I would be glad to help if you are still having trouble.

Yes. Removing them sucks. I've been in "panic mode" a couple of times myself! Just gotta keep on keepin' on, right?

I had the same problem with a few of them. At first I figured that the few were just stupid or clumsy. Then I surmised that possibly I wasn't feeding enough or often enough. Whatever..... Check them often and make sure to draw off the liquid in the bottom or the little buggers might drown!
