It is rather more complex than that: apart from when the battery is 
almost fully discharged and fully charged, the voltage only changes 
slightly as it goes from (say) 10% charged to (say) 90% charged. Once 
it is nearly fully charged, the voltage starts rising steeply until it 
is fully charged. So it might only get to 2.9V then rise steeply to 
3.1V. The data sheet will indicate the charging characteristic.
