The cell voltages given in the Electrochemistry section are larger than the potential at which aqueous solutions can electrolyze.
The former limitation results in a lower current scenario, while the thermalization reduces the maximum achievable cell voltage.
The length of time that data is recoverable is increased by low temperatures and higher cell voltages.
During the over-charge or top-up charge, the cell voltages will go beyond 1.6V and then slowly start to drop.
If the cells are connected in series, the voltage of the battery will be the sum of the cell voltages.
The cell voltage can be calculated using the following equation:
The total voltage produced is the sum of all cell voltages.
Generally, a low specific resistivity is desired to give greater control over cell voltage and reduce energy losses associated with resistive heating.
In both cases, cell voltage was about 2 volts.
Discharge cell voltage and energy efficiency were reported to be approximately 2.1 V and 75%, respectively.
