<<< < < rechargeables also seem to be 7.2v. This seems to be a pretty serious < degradation from 9v, and I am surprised that these batteries would < even work in some applications. ---------- The standard 9 V battery starts out with a cell voltage of 1.5 but will drop slowly to 1.0 as it discharges. After that point it falls off very rapidly. Any 9 volt device must be able to operate from 9v down to 6 or else you will be tossing batteries with a lot of good amp/minutes left in them.
