I'm currently trying to find a charge controller to use with a 12 volt, 10 aH lithium ion battery. My understanding was that the battery would consist of 3 cells and therefore measure 12.6 volts when charged. Therefore, to charge I expected I would have to use around 12.6 maybe higher. However, on the data sheet for the battery which I'll link to in case it's of any help it says it should be charged at 14.6 volts minimum. Does this seem a little high for a lithium ion battery? Anyone have any ideas why it is so high?

Your datasheet states that cell type is LiFePO4, and the site here states that a 4-cell LiFePO4 requires 14.4V for charging

Can I ask what kind of product/device you intend to run with it?

Plan is to use it in a prototype of a portable solar phone charger unit.
