    according to botzilla...

    Vivitar 285... various versions....

    7.45-7.8V, according to "Bob from MediaPlus.com," Mike Dubbs, and "Steven at bellatlantic.net."
    Peter Savage checked his 285 and 285HV units, and read only 6V.
    Mike Flaherty measured around 8.5V on his 15-year-old 285, and feels safe using it on his EOS D30.
    Older units may rate higher.
    One correspondent had three units ranging from 8.3V to 33V...

    Alan Latafat Correa checked with Vivitar and they clarified:
    The 285HV has a voltage of 12V. The 285 has a voltage of 350V. Hope this helps you.
    (Thanks Alan!)
