Tolerance in % - Limit for allowable variations for a given quantity, expressed as a percent of the rated value.
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.
Overdischarge - The process of discharging a cell or battery beyond its cutoff voltage and possibly into voltage reversal.
Gravimetric Energy Density - The ratio of the energy output of a cell or battery to its weight (Wh/kg). This term is used interchangeably with specific energy.
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).
Ambient Temperature - The average temperature of the surroundings.
Series - The interconnection of cells in such a manner that the positive terminal of the first is connected to the negative terminal of the second, and so on, resulting in increased voltage.
