Memory Effect - A phenomenon in which a cell or battery operated in successive cycles to the same, but less than full, depth of discharge temporarily loses the rest of its capacity at normal voltage levels.
Voltage Delay - Time delay for a battery to deliver the required operating voltage after it is placed under load.
High Voltage Spike - Rapid voltage peak up to 6000 volts with a duration of 100mS to 1/2 cycle.
Current Collector - An inert structure of high electrical conductivity used to conduct current from or to an electrode during discharge or charge.
Energy - The output capability of a cell or battery, usually expressed in watt-hours.
Separator - An ionic permeable electronically nonconductive spacer or material which prevents electronic contact between electrodes of opposite polarity in the same cell.
Power Surge - Voltage above 110% of rated RMS voltage for one or more cycles.
