Pulse Current - A periodic current drain of higher than normal drain rates.
Self-Discharge - The loss of useful capacity of a battery on storage due to internal chemical action (local action).
Hazardous Waste - Waste which is classified as "hazardous" (i.e., potentially harmful to the environment) by the government.
Primary Battery - A battery which is not intended to be recharged and is discarded when the battery has delivered all of its electrical energy.
Voltage (float) - DC voltage applied to the battery to maintain its charge level. This voltage depends on the type of battery, the number of cells and the manufacturer's recommendations.
Power source (alternate) - Backup source used in the event of a mains failure. The connection time and the duration of the source depend on the type of source used. (back)
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
