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.
