They are clearly different. It is in the definition. Or do you say pedantic because if you have two parameters you can calculate the third? Maybe it is just a disconnect between how a physicist sees things and an engineer sees them.

You are an engineer so like engineering notation. The nominal voltage of my pack is 64,000mV by the way. :P -- David D.
