8.4V NiCads are considered "true 9V" batteries; you are correct about
each cell=1.2V.

FWIW: I bought some of these 8.4V at the Price Club. Had no idea they
were the "true 9V" version. They are made by Saft. Interesting what
you can get at Price Club sometimes... (how many got their Macintosh
PowerBook 100's there? :-)
