I don't pretend to understand a lot of this but reading this explains the 12.8 nominal voltage...
Lithium batteries are an assembly composed of many cells, like lead-acid batteries and many other battery types. Lead-acid batteries have a nominal voltage of 2V/cell, whereas lithium battery cells have a nominal voltage of 3.2V. Therefore, to achieve a 12V battery you’ll typically have four cells connected in a series. This will make the nominal voltage of a LiFePO4 12.8V
Then there's the 14.6 vs 14.4 and resting voltage seems to be 13.6ish...Very confusing sometimes...
