1.325 is the voltage of a fully charged cell.

A fully-charged cell that's in good condition, you mean. As they lose
capacity through abuse, the terminal voltage goes up.

ISTR that it takes 1.55v per cell for charging a NiCd.(loaded V)
You need more voltage than what the cell is rated for.

With the charger attached to the battery, 1.55V isn't a bad estimate for
the voltage you'll see at full charge. With the charger detached, 1.325V
is a decent estimate for the battery voltage.
