You are being kind. I am sure it is 100%!

can you see the difference between:
4.45/8.9v
and
4.6/9.2v
?????

That's my issue:they guys with the new HV batteries can cheat EVEN MORE than the guys with non HV batts


With only one voltage battery you assume cheating but the cheating all has about the same MAX.
They can cheat more and be safer but the performance will not be better. Both batteries charged to 9V will run about the same assuming they are equal batteries to begin with (C rating, age, etc.).
