I think you should get a new 8.4v. You're basically saying a 8.4 provides the same performance and a 9.6v or better. The battery construction makes a difference and this may be the case for one or both of your batteries. Some batteries are constructed with "tabs" and some are soldered directly to each other. This affect internal resistance and performance. Age could also degrade the performance. If I knew a quick way to check their amp output I would tell you. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Nice catch mcguyver, you have a much better explanation than what I had in mind.
