Hazardous Waste - Waste which is classified as "hazardous" (i.e., potentially harmful to the environment) by the government.
End Voltage (also see Cutoff Voltage) - The prescribed voltage at which the discharge (or charge, if end-of-charge voltage) of a battery may be considered complete.
Switching Transients - Rapid voltage peak up to 20,000 volts with a duration of 10mS to 100mS.
Hourly Rate (also see C-Rate) - A discharge rate, in amperes, of a battery which will deliver the specified hours of service to a given cutoff voltage.
Desorption - The opposite of absorption, whereby the material retained by a medium or another material is released.
Electrical Line Noise - Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) are unwanted electrical signals that produce undesirable effects in sensitive electronic equipment.
Series - The interconnection of cells in such a manner that the positive terminal of the first is connected to the negative terminal of the second, and so on, resulting in increased voltage.
