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 ?

9V rating is approximate. A new battery will measure higher, especially
when a VOM with a very high impedance is used.
