The most important key parameter you should know in lithium-ion batteries is the nominal voltage. The standard operating voltage of the lithium-ion battery system is called the nominal voltage. For lithium-ion batteries, the nominal voltage is approximately 3.7-volt per cell which is the average voltage during the discharge cycle.
The discharge voltage curve of a lithium-ion battery illustrates how voltage decreases as the battery discharges. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries maintain a relatively steady voltage for most of the discharge cycle before dropping sharply near depletion.
The voltage of the lithium ion battery drops gradually as it discharges, with a steep drop in voltage only towards the end. This rapid drop in voltage towards the end of the discharge cycle is the reason why Li-ion batteries need to be managed carefully to avoid deep discharges that can reduce their cycle life.
The voltage of a lithium-ion battery system always fluctuates during charging or discharging. If you see the voltage during charge or discharge cycles, you will notice that the voltage remains constant initially and then varies over time. In the discharge cycle, initially, the voltage will be 4.2V.
