Howie,
I understood it to mean Open Circuit Voltage, or resting voltage, as this formula tends to fit that.

Ronald, et al,

I for one would very much appreciate an informed discussion about
paralleling strings of batteries, particularly in an off-grid environment
with and without PV (ie just generator charging).  I have over the years
moved toward single strings whenever possible, having seen what I've
assumed to be the negative effects of multiple strings many times
(unbalanced banks, premature cell death, etc.).

I greatly appreciate the information being offered in this thread. 
However, I must be thick headed at the moment, but I'm not getting what
"OCV" means...

Thanks,
Howie
