Wall-less Design - A battery design where the structural support for the cells is formed by an open plastic framework.
Battery or Pack - Two or more electrochemical cells electrically interconnected in an appropriate series/parallel arrangement to provide the required operating voltage and current levels. Under common usage, the term "battery" is often also applied to a single cell.
Short-Circuit Current (SCC) - The initial value of the current obtained from a battery in a circuit of negligible resistance.
Inverter - UPS subassembly that recomposes a sine-wave output (regulated and without breaks) using the DC current supplied by the rectifier-charger or the battery. The primary elements of the inverter are the DC/AC converter, a regulation system and an output filter.
Intermittent Test - A test during which a battery is subjected to alternate periods of discharge and rest according to a specified discharge regime.
1.5 Ah/10 = 150 mA (A cell's capacity is not the same at all discharge rates and usually increases with decreasing rate.)
Electrolyte - The medium which provides the ion transport mechanism between the positive and negative electrodes of a cell.
