Midpoint Voltage - The voltage of a battery midway in the discharge between the start of the discharge and the end voltage.
Passivation - The phenomenon by which a metal, although in conditions of thermodynamic instability, remains indefinitely unattacked because of modified or altered surface conditions.
RS422A (Recommended standard RS422A) - Standard RS232C is sufficient for transmissions in a normal environment. For transmissions in a disturbed environment or over long distances, standard RS422A offers a differential operation option, with a balanced voltage, ensuring far superior performance. What is more, it can be used for multipoint links, with generally up to ten connection points (one sender and up to ten receivers).
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.
Crest factor (Fc) - Ratio between the peak current value to the rms current value.
Nominal Voltage - The characteristic operating voltage or rated voltage of a battery.
Switching Transients - Rapid voltage peak up to 20,000 volts with a duration of 10mS to 100mS.
