Nominal Energy
The energy value of a cell or battery determined under specified conditions and declared by the
manufacturer. The nominal energy is calculated by multiplying nominal voltage by rated capacity
expressed in ampere-hours. Also known as Watt-hour rating.
Nominal Voltage
The approximate value of the voltage used to designate or identify a cell or battery
Non-Volatile Memory
General term for all forms of solid state (no moving parts) memory that has the capability to hold saved
data even when its power is turned off. Unlike volatile memory, it does not require periodic refreshing of its
memory contents.
Room Temperature
