Design Within Reach Portable Light SKU No. 9022546 Battery Replacement 150AAM11XMX 13.2V
This replacement battery is designed for Design Within Reach portable lighting applications that use the 150AAM11XMX 13.2V rechargeable battery pack. If your portable lamp is no longer holding a charge, runs for only a short time, or no longer performs as expected between charges, the battery pack is often the part that needs replacement.
This battery is a 13.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) pack with a 1500mAh capacity, commonly configured with 11 AA cells in series and fitted with wire leads. It is intended to replace worn or failed original battery packs while helping extend the useful life of the lamp without replacing the entire fixture.
Before ordering, confirm that your original battery markings include 150AAM11XMX, 13.2V, and that the wire lead polarity, connector style, and physical dimensions match your existing pack. Matching voltage and chemistry is especially important for proper charging and performance.
Why replace the battery instead of the lamp in your Design Within Reach Portable Light Sku No 9022546 Teardrop style lamp?
Portable designer lighting often fails because the internal rechargeable battery has aged, not because the lamp itself is defective. Replacing the battery can restore runtime, improve charging reliability, and help keep your original fixture in service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a replacement for the Design Within Reach Portable Light SKU 9022546?
If your lamp uses a 150AAM11XMX 13.2V NiMH battery pack with the same wire lead setup and physical size, this is the correct battery format to compare against your original pack.
What does 150AAM11XMX mean?
It refers to a rechargeable battery pack configuration built from AA-size NiMH cells. This model is commonly identified as an 11-cell 13.2V 1500mAh pack with wire leads.
Can I use a higher mAh battery?
In many cases yes, but voltage, chemistry, size, and connector setup must still match exactly. A higher capacity pack may not fit unless dimensions are the same.
Is this a NiCd or NiMH battery?
This battery format is identified as NiMH. Matching chemistry matters because the charging system in the lamp is designed around a specific battery type.
Do I need to match the connector and wire polarity?
Yes. Even if the voltage and chemistry match, the connector style, polarity, and wire orientation must also match your original battery pack.
Why is my portable lamp no longer holding a charge?
Rechargeable battery packs gradually lose capacity over time. Replacing the internal battery is often the most effective fix when the lamp still powers on but no longer runs normally off charge.
Additional Compatibility and Buying Information
The 150AAM11XMX battery is a specialty rechargeable pack commonly used in portable electronic products and certain decorative or utility lighting applications. It is a 13.2V NiMH pack made from 11 AA cells, typically with wire leads rather than a consumer snap-in battery casing.
When replacing a battery in portable lighting, do not rely on appearance alone. Two packs may look similar but differ in chemistry, connector polarity, wire length, or charging requirements. Always compare the original label and internal connection details before purchase.
Common signs that the original battery needs replacement include:
- Very short runtime after charging
- Failure to hold a charge
- Lamp shuts off early
- Battery pack swelling, leakage, or age-related weakness
- Also used in the OXO Candela Luau lantern.
Replacing the battery pack can be a cost-effective way to keep a premium portable lamp in service while avoiding full fixture replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an exact replacement for the 150aam11xmx battery?
Yes. This battery matches the original voltage, capacity, chemistry, and configuration of the 150aam11xmx pack.
Can I use a higher mAh capacity?
Yes. Higher mAh capacity is generally acceptable as long as voltage, chemistry, and size remain the same.
Does this battery include a connector?
This battery is supplied with wire leads. Connector type must match or be spliced according to your device.
Is NiMH interchangeable with NiCd?
Often yes, but charging circuits vary. Always confirm your device supports NiMH chemistry.
What causes these battery packs to fail?
Common causes include age, repeated charge cycles, heat exposure, and long-term storage.
How long should a NiMH battery pack last?
Under normal conditions, NiMH packs typically last 3–5 years or several hundred charge cycles.
Yes. Our team can verify fit and compatibility if you send photos and measurements before ordering.
Fit Check & Installation Tips
- Measure the original battery pack dimensions carefully
- Confirm wire polarity before installation
- Secure wire connections to avoid voltage drop
- Use chargers designed for NiMH chemistry only
- If runtime is short, the original battery has likely reached end of life
Most device failures traced to power issues are resolved by replacing the battery pack rather than the equipment
Check the match before ordering
- Part numberMatch the complete number, including letters and suffixes.
- Electrical specificationConfirm voltage, chemistry and charging requirements.
- Physical fitCompare dimensions, connector, polarity and terminal position.
