aBattery Voltage Being Too High ?

May 07, 2007 1 Replies

Hello:



Have been buying a bunch of those standard 9V batteries (a few different brands) over the past few months, and have noticed that instead of 9V they have been measuring out, with a VOM, at around 10.0 to 10.25. This is under no load.



Anyone else notice this ?



Was wondering if this might be the cause of all the problems I've been having with my fire alarms giving 3 to 4 chirps, around once a day ?



It's probably the same type of chirp signal that the unit gives when the batteries are low.



Thanks, Bob


I don't think that voltage is unusual.
