Demo. This is an example, and the tally is a sample vote. It is not a finding by Assay.
A single rested open-circuit voltage reading can locate a lithium-ion cell's state of charge only within a wide band, because the voltage curve is flat through much of the middle of the range.

Battery University describes open-circuit voltage as a state-of-charge estimate and notes that the curve is flat across a large part of the mid-range, so one reading maps to a wide band of charge. An NREL report on high-power lithium-ion models treats rested open-circuit voltage as a usable state-of-charge signal after a rest, and its curves still do not give a tight reading through the middle.

The NREL pulse tests were on one high-power chemistry. Lithium-iron-phosphate is flatter still, and a rested voltage is not the same signal as a voltage under load. The wide-band claim holds for the common mid-curve, but it is not a single rule for every cell and every duty cycle.
