Electrode - The site, area or location at which electrochemical processes take place.
Overcharge - The forcing of current through a cell after all the active material has been converted to the charged state, that is, continued charging after reaching 100 percent state-of-charge.
COS phil - A measure of the phase shift between the fundamental current wave and the fundamental voltage wave observed at the terminals of a non-linear load.
IR Drop - A voltage drop associated with the electrical resistance (R) of a battery or current flow (I). The voltage drop is the product of the current (in amperes) and the resistance (in ohms).
Brownout - A steady state RMS voltage under nominal by relatively constant percentage.
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.
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.
