	Is this true?  I just got some 8.4V NiCads from Varta (one exploded
due to charging it at an accelerated rate... it was expected).  But I
always assumed NiCads in their fundamental value come in 1.2V packages.
Hence, a 7 cell NiCad pack = 8.4V.  -Marketed as 9V batteries.  Is it
true that Varta now has a true 9.0V NiCad for sale?
