It is normal for the 3.7V18650 battery to become 4V.
Generally speaking, the 3.7V18650 battery is a lithium battery with a rated voltage of 3.7V. However , the output voltage changes with the battery power. The range is 3.6 to 4.2 V. less than 3.6 V, it will be over discharged. If it is higher than 3.6V, it will be over-discharged, and over-discharge and overcharge will seriously damage the battery and even cause danger.
The 3.7v18650 battery should reach 4.2v when fully charged, so it is normal for the 3.7v18650 battery to measure 4v.
