Closed-Circuit Voltage (CCV) - The potential or voltage of a battery when it is discharging or charging.
Thermistor - A temperature sensitive resistor, usually made from specially processed oxides.
Constant Resistance Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the resistance of the equipment load remains constant throughout discharge.
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.
Reactance (subtransient Uscx %, for generator) - Relative measurement (%) of the internal impedance of an AC generator during harmonic phenomena. This reactance, also called the longitudinal subtransient reactance of the generator, is sometimes identified as X"d. For most common generators, the value ranges between 15 and 20%. It can drop to 12% for optimized systems and to 6% for special devices.
Voltage Delay - Time delay for a battery to deliver the required operating voltage after it is placed under load.
Overcharge - The forcing of current through a cell after all the active material has been converted to the charged state, that is, continued charging after reaching 100 percent state-of-charge.
