The open-circuit voltage (OCV) is the measured potential when no current is drawn from a cell. Additionally, theoretically this potential is given by the equilibrium potential, which is determined from thermodynamics based on the operating conditions. In practice, the actual potential at zero current is measured to be approximately 300 mV lower than the theoretical value.
