Have you come across a SLC in the wild with a 3.6V battery instead of the recommended 3V? I recently found one with the correct plug and a lighter purple color, but I've never measured it before. Have you had a similar experience with this specific battery issue?
The nominal voltage of a battery is a common inquiry among users, often searched on Google.
Lithium batteries typically have a voltage of 3.6V, which is made up of three 1.2V cells. It is important to monitor the voltage level, and if it drops below this threshold, consider replacing the battery.
Yeah, I've actually encountered a similar situation with an SLC that had a 3.6V battery. It ran perfectly fine despite the voltage difference, but I guess the longevity might be affected. I suppose if the device isn't overly sensitive to slight voltage differences, it should function alright, but always good to cross-check with the manufacturer's recommendations. The different color coding might be between manufacturers or even lot differences.
I did encounter an SLC with a 3.6V battery once, though it was a rare find. Your experience reminded me of the same unexpected lighter purple color. I had to check twice to confirm. While many devices are designed to tolerate a somewhat higher voltage, over time, a 20% increase might stress the device's components. So, I would be cautious about using a 3.6V battery in an SLC that's meant for 3V to avoid potentially shortening the device's lifespan.
I stumbled upon a similar situation last year while experimenting with some older SLC models. The higher voltage of 3.6V didn't seem to create any immediate issues. However, one concern might be that prolonged use of a higher voltage power source could potentially wear out the device quicker due to the extra stress. It may not manifest as a problem in routine tasks, but under higher loads, the difference might become apparent. So, I'd suggest sticking to the manufacturer's recommendation for optimum performance and longevity.

Answer: Answer: It's not a common occurrence, but some users have reported finding SLCs with 3.6V batteries instead of the standard 3V.
Answer: Answer: Look for a battery with a correct plug and a lighter purple color, as some users have noticed these characteristics in SLC units with 3.6V batteries.
Answer: Answer: Using a higher voltage battery than specified could potentially affect the performance and longevity of the SLC unit, so it's recommended to stick to the manufacturer's recommended voltage standards.
Answer: Answer: While it's not ideal, if the SLC unit is functioning normally, there may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it's advisable to replace it with the correct 3V battery to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues.
