Hi everyone.
I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism at age 3. I am smart, shy, kind, and nice. Many times, people take advantage of me. I think this caused me to be bullied in high school. As the autistic brain is wired differently, it is impossible for me to fit into the mostly neurotypical (NT) world. I cannot make any NT friends as they all think I am ‘weird’ or ‘odd’. All the NT social skills are very hard for me to learn. However, when I come on autism forums such as this one, I feel like I am welcomed, accepted, and understood. I feel that with time, I might make friends on this forum.
I have some special interests such as electricity (plugs, voltages, electrical sockets/outlets), the battery health of electronic devices, and time (clocks, time zones). They are so intense that they are the only thing I think and talk about.
Hopefully I will make some friends on this forum.
Nice to meet you all!
Yours Truly,
SRSAutistic
Nominal battery voltages depend on the chemistry of the cell used, specifically the “oxidation potential” of the cathode and anode materials. You can think of it as “how badly one side of the battery wants to grab electrons from the other side”. 3.7 V is extremely common as it’s the number for common lithium materials. (But the real voltage varies a bit depending on the charge). Multiples of 1.5 V are common because it is the number for alkaline cells and you can get multiples of the voltage by putting several cells in series (end on end). I dont think there are commonly used chemistries with a nominal voltage of 2 V.
