Duty Cycle - The operating regime of a battery including factors such as charge and discharge rates, depth of discharge, cycle duration, and length of time in the standby mode.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
Frequency - The repetition of cycles measured in Hz. 60 Hz is the standard frequency in the U.S. 50 Hz is the standard frequency in other parts of the world. 60 Hz = 60 cycles per second.
Microsecond - 1,000,000th of a second (mS).
Tolerance in % - Limit for allowable variations for a given quantity, expressed as a percent of the rated value.
Constant Resistance Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the resistance of the equipment load remains constant throughout discharge.
Load (linear) - Load for which voltage form and current form are similar. Voltage and current are related by Ohm's law U(t) = Z x I(t).
