Interference (high-frequency) - High-frequency parasitic current that is either conducted (electrostatic origin) or radiated (electromagnetic origin) by a device.
Forced Discharge - Discharging a cell in a battery, by the other cells or an external power source, below zero volts into voltage reversal.
Gassing - The evolution of gas from one or more of the electrodes in a cell. Gassing commonly results from local action (self-discharge) or from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte during charging.
Rectifier/charger - UPS component that draws on the mains the power required to supply the inverter and to float charge or recharge the battery. The alternating input current is rectified and then distributed to the inverter and the battery.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
High Voltage Spike - Rapid voltage peak up to 6000 volts with a duration of 100mS to 1/2 cycle.
Coulomb - The amount of electricity transported by a current of one ampere flowing for one second.
