The four batteries are held in series, for a nominal output of 6V DC for alkaline

(6.4V when fresh, 4V when dead), and 4.8V DC for rechargeables (5.2V when

fully charged, 4.4V when discharged). Using rechargeables will make this work

nicely with nearly any 5V project, with alkalines you may want to put a 1N4001

in series to drop the voltage from 6V down to 5.3V
