  Sorry, I got "cut off", and didn't continue:  I am NOT a chemist, but I 
remember (barely) a couple of details from H.S. chemistry, and each elemental
metal (and carbon, used as the "+" in a Leclanche cell) has a certain
"electro-negativity" or whatever it's called, so, chaning one or both metals
used in a cell will change the voltage produced. Thus, "Nickel-Cadmium" or
"Silver-Mercury" or "Nickel-[metal-]Hydride", etc. Aso, the electrolyte
makes a difference. Alkalines (alkaline cells!) and acids ("car battery")
are used, and the various kinds and preparations of those partly-determine
voltage and "internal impedance" (how much current the cell can supply).
It's kinda complicated. That's why, being ignernt, I don't even know how to
appropriately explain it! Duh...
