[NSRCA-discussion] LiPo Voltage

[Ron Van Putte]

I had an interesting discussion with an Energizer  battery supplier  
in a Sam's today.  I was at the battery display, looking at the AA  
nonrechargeable lithium batteries.  The package said the cells were  
1.2V.  I asked the battery supplier how the voltage could be 1.2  
volts when most of  the lithium cells I'd seen were rated at 3.7  
volts. He didn't know.  Does anyone out there?  Can the Lithium   
chemistry for nonrechargeable cells produce a nominal 1.2 volts and  
the rechargeable cells produce a nominal 3.7 volts?
