Final Charge Voltage:

 The voltage at which the battery’s charge limit (capacity 

limit) is reached after which the charge process switches from a high current 

to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge). From this point on, any further high 

current charging would cause overheating and eventual terminal damage to the 

pack.

Final Discharge Voltage:

 

The voltage at which the battery’s

discharge limit it reached. The chemical composition of the batteries determines 

the level of this voltage. Below this voltage, the battery enters deep discharge 

zone. Individual cells within the pack may become reverse polarized under these 

conditions, resulting in permanent damage.

Nominal Voltage (V):

 

The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be 

determined as follows:

- NiCd or NiMH: 

Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. An 8-cell 

pack will have a nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8 x 1.2).

- LiPo:

 Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 3-cell LiPo wired in 

series will have a nominal voltage of 11.1 volts (3 x 3.7).

4-cell LiHV wired in a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).

- Lilo:

 Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.6. A 2-cell Lilo wired in a 

series will have a nominal voltage of 7.2 volts (2 x 3.6).

- LiFe:

 Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.3. A 4-cell LiFe wired in 

a series will have a nominal voltage of 13.2 volts. (4 x3.3).

- LiHV:

 Multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 3.7. A 4-cell LiHV wired in 

a series will have a nominal voltage of 14.8 volts. (4 x 3.7).

If the nominal voltage of the battery is not printed on

the battery’s label, consult your battery manufacturer 

or supplier. Do not attempt to guess the rated voltage 

of the battery.
