Apr 15, 2001 · I just measured the open circuit voltage of a spent cell and it's reading 3.01 volts. Is this considered "dead"? Being a 3V cell, I would think that is still an acceptable voltage so I'm wondering …

Apr 29, 2006 · All of my used up CR123's read right at a out 2.85 volts. I have had some battery miser lights draw a CR123 to a little under 2 volts open circuit, but that is rare. As already noted, the state …

Mar 1, 2007 · However, this lower open-circuit voltage should only serve as an indicator of the declining performance of a battery. You get more precise assessment criteria if you have the opportunity to …

Jul 13, 2015 · CNN of all places) are split on 1.4V and 1.35V open-circuit voltage as the effective zero point for alkaline cells. The general shape of the discharge curves for loaded cells could be used to …

Feb 18, 2008 · Suspect the designers assumed an open circuit voltage way too close to 1.5V. Given that I've only needed it to last a weekend and the critters have never gone hungry it's a nonissue - just …

Feb 29, 2004 · If you assume v1 is the open circuit voltage, then v2 is the loaded voltage, and the difference appears across the internal resistance. Knowing the current with the heavier load and you …

Mar 8, 2008 · As stated in the title, at what voltage are alkaline batteries considered to be dead? This is, unfortunately, all a matter of who is doing the considering. Electronic designers are supposed to …

Jan 11, 2006 · You can take a 1000 mAh cell that is at a resting open circuit voltage of 3.5 volts and parallel it with a 2600 mAh cell that is also at a resting open circuit voltage of 3.5 volts and hook them …

Oct 3, 2012 · The 3.82V is the open circuit voltage after the battery rests 90 minutes minimum.

Jan 22, 2004 · The circuit would be run in constant current mode. Would this act to keep the string going in case of an "open" failure LED - or would this just dump power past the LED similar to parallel …
