Voltage Depression - An abnormal drop in voltage below expected values during the discharge of a battery.
COS phi - A measure of the phase shift between the current wave and the voltage wave observed at the terminals of a load supplied with AC power at a given frequency.
Electrical Line Noise - Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) are unwanted electrical signals that produce undesirable effects in sensitive electronic equipment.
Hazardous Waste - Waste which is classified as "hazardous" (i.e., potentially harmful to the environment) by the government.
Limiting Current - The maximum current drain under which the particular battery will perform adequately under a continuous drain. The rate is based on whatever drain rate reduces the running voltage to 1.1 volts.
Safety Vent - A venting mechanism designed into a cell which activates under specific conditions of abuse to relieve internal pressure.
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.
