What is battery voltage? I think we talk around the real definition so much we actually begin to believe that we understand what it means when in reality we do not. For my benefit as well as yours let us go back to the basics of what battery voltage really means and how the work it conducts inside your battery affects the other technical factors of your battery.

Italian physicist Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (February 18, 1745 - March 5, 1827) grew up with a passion for electricity, though some might call it an obssesion. In 1775 he devised the electrophorus, a device that produced a static electric charge.

In 1776-77 he studied the chemistry of gases, discovered methane, and devised experiments that would ignite gases by an electric spark in a closed vessel. In 1800 he developed the voltaic pile, a forerunner of the electric battery, which produced a steady electric current.
