    Dunno... could be that some use 3 and some 4 maybe.
    Mine definitely goes up around 14 when fully charged and for interest I just confirmed 13.6 at the terminals (last charged 2 months ago) with the lamp on as a load albeit a small one.

    I also wouldn't have thought they would use the overcharge (4.2V) for the normal charging of the packs but maybe they do on some.
    As mentioned, on mine I have to go to override which takes out the fault diagnosis and reverse protection circuits.

    I asked MB what he bought so might shed some light on it.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
