MVP 2.0 Full Charge

I recently bought an mvp v2.0 and it shows how much battery power I have left, in voltage. My question is, how much voltage should it have at full? At 3.75 the button turns yellow, but nowhere does it say in the instructions or anything what a full charge is. Might be a dumb question but, the dumbest question is the one not asked ;)

To add on to what others have said, it's at full charge at 4.2 volts. All lithium ion batteries, like the one in the MVP 2, have a full charge of 4.2 volts and go down to around 3.65 before it can no longer supply constant voltage.

Specifically, the 4.2 volts means volts per cell. So as the battery discharges, the volts per cell go down. 4.2v down to 3.65v, and then recharge.

Thank you!
This is one of the questions I had originally joined to ask.
nice explanation on all counts:)

Damn, mine shuts off at 3.5/3.6. I heard that running li-ion batteries when they're low on charge can decrease battery life long term. Don't know if that's true though.

Yes. Like any Lithium Ion battery running it down to total depletion will drastically shorten the life of the battery due to the nature of how LI batteries function.
