Page 22: Commonly Used Terms
COMMONLY USED TERMS WARRANTY AND SERVICE Commonly used terms Nominal voltage(V): The nominal voltage of the battery pack can be determined as follows; Final charge voltage: the voltage at which the battery's charge limit (capacity limit) is reached. The -.NiCd or NiMH: multiply the total number of cells in the pack by 1.2. A 8-cell pack will have a charge process switches from a high current to a low maintenance rate (trickle charge) at this nominal voltage of 9.6 volts (8x1.2).
