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).
Cycle Life - The number of cycles under specified conditions which are available from a secondary battery before it fails to meet specified criteria as to performance.
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).
Cutoff Voltage (also see End Voltage) - The battery voltage at which the discharge is terminated. The cutoff voltage is specified by the battery manufacturer and is generally a function of discharge rate.
Crest factor (Fc) - Ratio between the peak current value to the rms current value.
Fuse - Device used for cutting off an electrical current in the event of an abusive condition.
Dry Cell - A cell with immobilized electrolyte. The term "dry cell" is often used to describe the Leclanche cell.
