Default what is typical voltage of new nicad?

Just wondering what the typical initial voltage is of a new aa or aaa
nicad battery before the first time you charge it. I just bought some
and the voltage ranges from .9 to .99 volts which seems too low to me, I
know it is very bad to let batteries full to this voltage normally but
what about when they are brand new, are these voltages ok then,as
anybody else measured the votlage on new batteries before charging them
for the first time. I wonder if the ones I bought have been on the shelf
too long.
