Glossary: Battery Voltage

Battery voltage is the electrical potential difference provided by a battery or battery pack, measured in volts (V).

Expanded Explanation

Voltage is determined by the battery chemistry and how cells are configured in series. It affects power delivery, system compatibility, and charging requirements. Devices are designed to operate within specific voltage ranges, making correct voltage selection critical for safe and reliable operation. Voltage also changes during charge and discharge cycles.

Why it matters

Incorrect voltage selection can impair performance or damage connected electronics.
