Cycle Life - The number of cycles under specified conditions which are available from a secondary battery before it fails to meet specified criteria as to performance.
Primary Battery - A battery which is not intended to be recharged and is discarded when the battery has delivered all of its electrical energy.
Switching Transients - Rapid voltage peak up to 20,000 volts with a duration of 10mS to 100mS.
Safety installation - Installation supplying electrical equipment which may have a direct effect on the safety of users and must therefore remain energized even in the event of a mains failure. In general, characteristics concerning the power supply and conditions for transfer to the safety source for such electrical equipment are covered by applicable regulations.
Power Surge - Voltage above 110% of rated RMS voltage for one or more cycles.
Overcharge - The forcing of current through a cell after all the active material has been converted to the charged state, that is, continued charging after reaching 100 percent state-of-charge.
Short-Circuit Current (SCC) - The initial value of the current obtained from a battery in a circuit of negligible resistance.
