High Voltage Spike - Rapid voltage peak up to 6000 volts with a duration of 100mS to 1/2 cycle.
C-Rate (also see Hourly Rate) - Discharge or charge current, in amperes, expressed in multiples of the rated capacity. For example, C/10 discharge current for a battery rated at 1.5 Ah is:
Nominal Voltage - The characteristic operating voltage or rated voltage of a battery.
Voltage Depression - An abnormal drop in voltage below expected values during the discharge of a battery.
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.
Spiral Wound - An electrode structure of high surface area created by winding the electrodes and separator into a spiral-wound, jelly-roll configuration.
Pulse Current - A periodic current drain of higher than normal drain rates.
