Why do active pickups require 9v batteries instead of some other kind of battery like AA? (lemmy.ca)

Not only that but if you do have active electronics you also most likely have a 9v shaped door on the back of the instrument for access to change said battery.

If you don’t see a door, you probably don’t have active electronics.
