Thanks Darcy! The thing that I'm trying to figure out is if I hook a 9 volt up to one of my sugar cells that is infused with wintergreen oil (Methyl Salicylate) if the internal temperature will heat to more than 101 Celsius, which is the flash point for the chemical and could make it combust. As long as the battery doesn't heat it up to more than that it should be fine. Unfortunately I threw away the old sugar cells as they were all melty. <br>

<br clear="all">I suppose if you can try it on a couple and see what the current is, then you can know how many Watts. That would be a start. Then you just have to figure out how much of the heat is in the load and how much is in the battery. You can probably do that by knowing the resistance of the load.<br>

Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know how much heat is produced by a 9 volt battery when the resistance of the material it flows through reduces it to 6 volts? What would the temperature be inside the material? Thanks!</div>
