Hello mates!
I've bought some batteries in an Electronics shop, to replace the ones in Motometer board (lithium type)

Shop sold me 3,6V but batteries in the board are 3V!
Any danger? Can i used them or they will damage the board?

Please help
Kind regards

They should be OK to use. 0.6V won't make much difference - this will drop over a period of time anyway. If you're worried about it, just put them under load (e.g., wire a light bulb to them) for a while to reduce the voltage level to around 3V.
