Hmmm., Trying to reinvent Ohm's law?
Battery Voltage Being Too High ?

Hi, My main bench meter is lab grade calibrated Fluke. I check other meters against it to see how reasonably accurate it is. I still use old work horse Simpson 260 on many occasions where low impedance meter input is needed like on household AC power wiring.
A friend of mine moved into a new trailer last weekend. The fire alarms were chirping, so I took out all the the batteries and tripped off the breaker.
Four batteries were running high voltage (carbon cells) and the alkaline was running a bit low. Wonder if that's related some how?
I've found that voltage reduces as load (amperage usage) increases.
That is not always true. For example:
It's come to my attention that. . .
In this case "It's" means "It has"
OVERHEATING????? Geez from what hollerbutt?
