Well if you are using a psone screen, 9.25 is too many volts. Use 4 at 7.2v and you will be fine.

Yeah, my 7.4V charger can't charge cells under 3.3V per cell...

I think he's probably measuring the voltage of a AA, C, or D battery.

Technically supposed to be 1.5v, but can read a little higher.

If that is correct, then your laptop battery is probably dead.

When was it last working?

The battery is probably 2 sets of 4 cells in series. Like this:

Check out my battery setup... you could probably do something like this since your cells are 3.7V too.
