Charge - The conversion of electrical energy, provided in the form of electrical current from an external source, to restore the chemical energy in a cell or battery.
Switching Transients - Rapid voltage peak up to 20,000 volts with a duration of 10mS to 100mS.
Blackout - A zero voltage condition lasting for more than two cycles. Same as a power failure
Trickle Charge - A charge at a low rate, balancing losses through local action and/or periodic discharge, to maintain a cell or battery in a fully charged condition.
Current (inrush) - Temporary current observed in a network when electrical devices are energized, generally due to the magnetic circuits of the devices. The effect is measured by the current's maximum peak value and the rms current value it generates.
Gassing - The evolution of gas from one or more of the electrodes in a cell. Gassing commonly results from local action (self-discharge) or from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte during charging.
Closed-Circuit Voltage (CCV) - The potential or voltage of a battery when it is discharging or charging.
