Volumetric Energy Density - The ratio of the energy output of a cell or battery to its volume (Wh/L).
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.
RS485 (Recommended standard RS485) - This standard is similar to RS422A except that the number of possible links is greater and up to 32 senders may be interconnected to as many receivers. This system is particularly designed for local-area networks.
Harmonics (current and voltage) - All alternating current which is not absolutely sinusoidal is made up of a fundamental and a certain number of current harmonics which are the cause of its deformation (distortion) when compared to the theoretical sine-wave. For each current harmonic of order n and an rms value In, there is a voltage harmonic with an rms value Un. If Zsn is the voltage source output impedance for the harmonic of the nth order, then - Un = Zsn x In
Constant Power Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the current during the discharge increases as the battery voltage decreases.
Frequency Variation - A change in frequency of more than 3 Hz.
Bobbin - A cylindrical cell design utilizing an internal cylindrical electrode, and an external electrode arranged as a sleeve inside the cell container.
