Cell - The basic electrochemical unit used to generate or store electrical energy.
RMS Voltage - The range of usable voltage + or - 170 VAC.
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:
Discharge Rate - The rate, usually expressed in amperes, at which electrical current is taken from the battery.
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.
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.
Power source (alternate) - Backup source used in the event of a mains failure. The connection time and the duration of the source depend on the type of source used. (back)
