voltage of dimmer output not reading same on two different DVM's

Sorry, the meters are a GE2524 Digital Multimeter that reads the 9V and
the other meter is a Etek 10709 that reads 4 V.
Not sure about dimmer frequency, but I can hear a faint whine as it runs.
** What range are you using ???
AC volts or DC volts?
PWM voltage waves can be read as an average value on any DC meter - but true power will require something much fancier.
Why not just measure the DC battery current and multiply by the voltage?
Then subtract a watt or so for losses in the controller.
