I am not sure what purpose they wanted it for, but I know that on our robot when our battery ISN'T at 14V it's unusual because it seems to go unbearably slow when it is >13.5V. We always run like that with a fully charged battery, and we have never lost any electrical components besides motors because we stall them.
