What is battery overvoltage?

Battery overvoltage occurs when the voltage of a battery exceeds its maximum allowable limit. This can happen due to various reasons, such as overcharging, faulty charging systems, or internal battery defects. Overvoltage can cause damage to the battery and also pose a safety risk as the battery can explode or catch fire. The ideal voltage for a battery usually ranges from 12.6V to 13.8V, and anything above that can be considered overvoltage. To prevent overvoltage, it is essential to use proper charging equipment, monitor the battery regularly, and replace old or defective batteries.
