  • Nominal voltage: 9.6V

  • Charging conditions: 17mA for 16 hours at 20°C

  • Fast charge: 85mA to 170mAh with -dv/dt termination

  • Ambient temperature: Standard charge: 0°C ~ 45°C, fast charging 10°C ~ 45°C, Discharge –20°C ~ 50°C, Storage –20°C ~ 35°C




This is a 8 cell NiMH battery.










At low load the battery has the specified capacity and it looses some capacity with increasing load, but nothing like a Alkaline battery.
The battery is rated 9.6V and will have higher voltage than a 9V Alkaline.











Conclusion

The extra cell in the battery means each cell is slightly smaller, i.e. the battery has lower capacity. Instead it has higher voltage.
The battery looks good.
