Hello there everyone,
I am a noob to the world of electronics. I recently bought a multimeter INNOVA 3310 from iEquus. An Energizer 9V battery recently died (it was being used in the personal weighing machine that I have) and I wanted to verify that the voltage was indeed not there. When used my multimeter on it, it gave me a reading of 8.38V. What exactly does this mean? Why was the weighing machine not using this battery? Because it was just a little bit below 9V? Does that mean I can use this battery elsewhere where less than 9V is required or should I just throw the battery away?
It is not about the battery, but about the general concept of non-chargeable batteries if they can be reused even if they fall below their voltage level.
I seek enlightenment
