I plan to use ridgid battery packs in my ebike, i decided to drain 2 battery packs in a drill until they stopped working just to see how low they'd go. To my surprise i measured 11.5 and 11.9volts in them, if you divide that by the number of cells inside which is 5 you get 2.3 and 2.4volts per cell.
Is ridgid using some magical battery that allows this low of a voltage? The charger easily charges them back up to 20.4volts or 4.1v each. They warranty these batteries for life so i'd imagine they'd want to stay on the safe side but 2.3v seems somewhat low, am i missing something or should i just not worry about it and set my low voltage limit to 12v for the battery pack?
