New unused Alkaline are about 1.63V ÷ 1.57V = 1.038 x 4.05V = 4.20V
Looks like your 4.05V metering is actually very near 4.20V.

You should confirm voltage against other meter, then adjust.

The LG cells were rated at 3,000 mAh but are approx. 2,500 mHh so at 4P about 10 AH compared to the 8Ah SONA pa...

Adjusting to ≤ 75% of rated voltage allows continuous operation and supplies current limiting to all power supplies used in series. Alternatively, the S-150-xxx series a...
