Not likely, but I would use the wall wart anyway.

Just one mans preference of course...........

Some clarification: your voltage reading will probably be different because of the difference between the output voltage of the battery and the wall wart, but otherwise your results should be the same.

i should see system voltage between pin 1-2 of the "megastim" with the use of a dvom right. do you know of a different wiring schematic other then the one illustrated on the "megastim" assembly page. the ground path that is described looks kinda strange to me.
