Bypass (automatic) - In the event of an overload or an unlikely UPS problem, your application is still powered, thanks to the automatic bypass module.
Metal Hydride - An intermetallic compound or alloy in which hydrogen has been absorbed; also, the negative electrode in a nickel-metal hydride battery.
Fuse - Device used for cutting off an electrical current in the event of an abusive condition.
Capacity - The total number of ampere-hours or watt-hours that can be withdrawn from a fully charged cell or battery under specified conditions of discharge.
End Voltage (also see Cutoff Voltage) - The prescribed voltage at which the discharge (or charge, if end-of-charge voltage) of a battery may be considered complete.
Load (non-linear) - Load (generally with a switched-mode power supply) generating major harmonic currents. Current wave form is different from voltage wave form. Ohm's law is not applicable. It can be used only with each harmonic.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
