Discharge - The conversion of the chemical energy of a battery into electrical energy, and the withdrawal of the electrical energy into a load.
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) - Inverter high-frequency chopping technique using a means of regulation enabling rapid modification of pulse widths over a single period, thus making it possible to maintain the inverter output within tolerances even for non-linear loads.
RMS Voltage - The range of usable voltage + or - 170 VAC.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
C-Rate (also see Hourly Rate) - Discharge or charge current, in amperes, expressed in multiples of the rated capacity. For example, C/10 discharge current for a battery rated at 1.5 Ah is:
Fuse - Device used for cutting off an electrical current in the event of an abusive condition.
Electrode - The site, area or location at which electrochemical processes take place.
