Topic summary

Battery voltages vary widely depending on chemistry and configuration. Common single-cell voltages range from about 1.2V nominal for alkaline AA and AAA cells (approximately 1.5V when fresh) to nearly 5V for some chemistries. Standard 9V batteries provide a nominal 9 volts. Rechargeable lithium-ion cells typically have nominal voltages around 3.6 to 3.7V per cell and are often combined in series to achieve higher voltages, such as the approximately 300V battery packs used in electric vehicles. Lead-acid cells commonly provide about 2V per cell, with six cells connected in series to form a 12V battery. Battery packs are designed by connecting multiple cells in series or parallel to meet specific voltage and current requirements. Factors influencing battery choice include rechargeability, current capacity, size, weight, cost, longevity, and safety considerations. Resources such as batteryuniversity.com and teardown videos of brands like Tesla provide detailed insights into battery construction and voltage standards.
