It should....
The IC-3's put out 1.45 volts, so 6 x 1.45= 8.7 volts....It may or may not handle it well....Some people have fried it on 9 volts, others have taken it up to 8, so see for yourself......at your own risk....

Oh, sorry theMonster. I have a disturbed little mind.....lol

I would recommend using 5 cells with the IC-3's, they DO put out higher voltage, just be careful.

you're right

I'm the one who tested the IC3s at 1.45V, and that was fresh out of the charge with the test leads of the Fluke meter going to the + and - ends of the batteries, respectively. I did test all 6 batts though and it was consistent with no load. This was the most accurate way of measuring the batts though because when you talk about "load" that's more related to motors, when you refer to batteries then the proper measurement would be "drain" and different devices have different amounts of drain... i.e. an lcd clock will have significant less drain than a flashlight.. so you were right about there being no load/drain measurement because that would skew the results.

**edit** I am VERY curious to see how your 7th cell works because that would put you up to 10.15V and everyone that I've heard that goes into the 9v range goes toasty, albeit it takes some time, in the case of one guy here, he ran 9.6v for 10 minutes before it RIP, so do us a favor and run through the whole battery before announcing success/failure. Unfortunately by experimenting like this, this is the only way we'll find at what V it will fry at. Good luck Mr Bigshot!!!
