Hi All:
I just purchased a Z11 and have yet to assemble it. I charged 2 9v NiCads and they were about 16.2 volts. I check with the Z11
manufacturer and he told me that the maximum voltage that the unit could handle was around 24 volts. With a little use, the batteries
should quickly drop below the "normal" 14v operating level. I will let you know if any smoke appears when I get it going!

Hey Guys
I just got my Z11 which works very well. The manual
states that 2 rechargeable 9v batteries in series can
be used and then cautions not to use alkaline
batteries since the voltage would be over 14v. Well,
I faithfully charged 2 batteries and measured their
voltage which came to 16.8v as advertised on the
cover. Is their a way to charge them to only 14v
without a special charger.
