The terminal voltage of a battery cell depends on the chemicals and materials used in its construction, and not on its physical size. For example, primary (non-rechargeable) alkaline batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts. Rechargeable NiCd (nickel cadmium) and NiMH (nickel metal hydride) typically output 1.25 volts per cell. Devices intended for use with primary batteries may not operate properly with these cells, given the reduction in voltage.
The Tour peloton opted to ride most of stage 3 at a relaxing pace. Mondayâs third stage of the Tour de France was a snoozer. Nearly four hours into the six-hour slog, the average speed was a mere 33kph and the peloton was a half hour behind schedule.
