I have to laugh at this one!....The guy who started this thread has a bunch
of engineers and techs running out to the garage with a fresh 9V and
slapping that puppy across their tongues.....I guess it's just my warped
imagination but that's what this thread brings to mind...hehehe....later,
Ross

I don't remember the short-circuit current
of a typical 9V battery, but it seems to me the last time I tested one
it was in the tens of milliamps.

I just tested a "Energizer Max" 9V battery, brand new from the
package. Short circuit current was 7.3 Amps. Note the lack of
"milli."

I seem to remember testing a NiCd 9V once and finding that it
could produce even more short circuit current.
