Critical Load - Devices and equipment whose failure to operate satisfactorily jeopardizes the health or safety or personnel and/or results in loss of function, financial loss, or damage to property deemed critical by the user.
Inverter (on-line) - UPS configuration in which the inverter is in series mounted between the mains and the load. All power drawn by the load passes via the inverter. This is the only configuration used for high outputs.
Coulomb - The amount of electricity transported by a current of one ampere flowing for one second.
Parallel - Term used to describe the interconnection of cells or batteries in which all the like terminals are connected together. Results in increased capacity.
Battery cells - The interconnected battery elements that supply electrical power created by electrolytic reaction.
Wall-less Design - A battery design where the structural support for the cells is formed by an open plastic framework.
Current (float) - DC current that maintains the battery at nominal charge, corresponding the float voltage. This current compensates open circuit losses.
