running the OI off a battery

We need to run the robot on radio while away from the plug. I went out and bought an M-type connecter (the kind that the DC-In port on the OI uses) and soldered it to a 9 volt battery (cause the power adapter SAYS it outputs 9v)

but the problem is, that, when tested with a multimeter, it shows that the power adapter ACTUALLY outputs 12 volts.

will the OI run on 9 volts?
