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.
Forced Discharge - Discharging a cell in a battery, by the other cells or an external power source, below zero volts into voltage reversal.
Earthing system TN - Earthing system in which the exposed conductive parts are interconnected and connected to the neutral. The neutral is connected to the earth. The installation must be de-energized immediately in the event of an insulation fault.
Anode - The electrode in an electrochemical cell where oxidation takes place. During discharge, the negative electrode of the cell is the anode. During charge, the positive electrode is the anode.
Voltage Delay - Time delay for a battery to deliver the required operating voltage after it is placed under load.
Crest factor (Fc) - Ratio between the peak current value to the rms current value.
Working Voltage - The typical voltage or range of voltage of a battery during discharge (also called operating voltage or running voltage).
