Cell - The basic electrochemical unit used to generate or store electrical energy.
Top-Up Charge - A low rate charge following the main charge, designed to ensure maximum capacity.
Limiting Current - The maximum current drain under which the particular battery will perform adequately under a continuous drain. The rate is based on whatever drain rate reduces the running voltage to 1.1 volts.
Bypass (automatic) - In the event of an overload or an unlikely UPS problem, your application is still powered, thanks to the automatic bypass module.
Fourier theorem - Theorem stating that any non-sinusoidal periodic function (frequency f) may be represented as a sum of terms (series) made up of - n a sinusoidal term with frequency f, called the fundamental frequency, n sinusoidal terms with frequencies that are whole multiples of the fundamental frequency, (harmonics), n a possible DC component where n is a whole number. n = 1 corresponds to the fundamental, n > 1 to the harmonic of the nth order.
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.
Electromagnetic compatibility - Possibility of a device to operate normally when installed near other devices, given the disturbances emitted by each device and their mutual sensitivities.
