Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) - The difference in potential between the terminals of a cell when the circuit is open (no-load condition).
Constant Power Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the current during the discharge increases as the battery voltage decreases.
Anode - The electrode in an electrochemical cell where oxidation takes place. During discharge, the negative electrode of the cell is the anode. During charge, the positive electrode is the anode.
Current Collector - An inert structure of high electrical conductivity used to conduct current from or to an electrode during discharge or charge.
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.
Interference (high-frequency) - High-frequency parasitic current that is either conducted (electrostatic origin) or radiated (electromagnetic origin) by a device.
Capacity - The total number of ampere-hours or watt-hours that can be withdrawn from a fully charged cell or battery under specified conditions of discharge.
