I replaced it with a fresh one which read around 9.1 volts and it works now. The voltage coming from the pickup, however, still read very low (0.1 mV), so I'm not sure what was happening there.
Maybe your meter needs a new battery too.... BTW, a battery tester that loads the battery is much better than a standard meter. You can get an analog one at Home Depot for less than $10. I have both of these and they are excellent:
