I'm not sure I understand your question...from the views so far, I may not be alone.

I think he means what should teh TX voltage display read when fully charged. I run Duralites and with them the TX reads 12.5 on my 9CHP, and 12.3 on my 9Z. Unfortunately I forgot what it used to read with the NiCd's. Anybody running NiCd's can take a look and report back please. TIA!!

I don't have my 9C in front of me, but I am use 8x AA @ 2300 mAh. I think when full mine reads somewhere between 10.9 and 11.1, but I can't remember for sure.
Remember, 9.6 v is the nominal voltage of a nickel-chemistry battery. You're actually a bit over that with a freshly charged pack. When you start seeing numbers below 9.5 you can recharge the pack. Otherwise, you're wasting capacity and cycles.
