Power Drain when Solenoid Fires

I just found a good source of some CRP2 batteries, and I am sacrificing one to see how long it will last compared to the ones recommended by AP...

Does anyone know the power drain (Volts) when the Solenoid fires ?

Once I have my findings, I will post the source of the batteries, if they are worth it!

They look like industry-standard 2W coils on the solenoids. Could be wrong, though. I normally am.

Checked a number of dives from my Evo datalogs and the voltage drop when the solenoid fires ranges from a maximum of 0.3v to minimum of 0.2v. But 95% of the time the drop is in the range 0.23 - 0.25v.
