be OK, but run warm. BTW, there is no way on Earth you will get 24V
out of 6 AA batteries. Check the battery in your DVM and then your
connections.

Ha! The only thing to comment on is the idea of using 6 AA cells that
provide "9V", as stated. This would mean using non-rechargeable
batteries. A terrible waste ... Dennis.

OTOH, I use 6 AA NiMH cells all the time to run my servos, which are
mainly Hitec anymore, as these batteries only output about 6 * 1.2V =
7.2V, and this isn't too much above the 6V spec level.
