- In principle, a Li-ion battery cell, e.g., the most widely used 18750, has a 3.7v output. So, if you put them in serial, you can get 7.4, 11.1, 14.8, 18.5, 22.2, 25.9, ...volt.
- NP-F batteries are generally 7.2v by design
- V-mount batteries are either 14.8v or 26v
- Gold-mount batteries are 14.8v
