Eagle,
I will check and get back to you.

Grosh,
The 9.6 volt battery is 1000maHr and 7.2 volt battery is 3000 maHr. Either can produce fire if misused and under certain conditions can produce burns, and explosive release of gases generated within the battery. Either of these batteries when fully charged is capable of several tens of amps into a short. A standard nine volt battery is about 500 maHr but can't source nearly the current that NiCd or NiMH technologies can.
