Constant Resistance Discharge - A battery discharge regime whereby the resistance of the equipment load remains constant throughout discharge.
Voltage Reversal - The changing of the normal polarity of a battery due to overdischarge.
COS phi - A measure of the phase shift between the current wave and the voltage wave observed at the terminals of a load supplied with AC power at a given frequency.
Current (float) - DC current that maintains the battery at nominal charge, corresponding the float voltage. This current compensates open circuit losses.
Discharge - The conversion of the chemical energy of a battery into electrical energy, and the withdrawal of the electrical energy into a load.
Separator - An ionic permeable electronically nonconductive spacer or material which prevents electronic contact between electrodes of opposite polarity in the same cell.
Charge - The conversion of electrical energy, provided in the form of electrical current from an external source, to restore the chemical energy in a cell or battery.
