Does anyone MAKE a "9V" NiMH battery?

I just bought several Energizer Rechargeable "9v" batteries (NiMH) and,
thanks to a previous post, I looked at the fine print and, yes, it is
actually 7.2volts! It says: "Size 9v" - so they can claim it is a 9v
battery due to the loose use of the term "9v" to indicate a "size" rather
than a power potential.

Why would the makers of these rechargeables make them not truly match the
voltage they are supposed to be?

Because they like fat profits ?

Buy the chaep ones instead. I did and it is actually 9V.
