Please enter parameter:
RATED CAPACITY ? 000.0 Ah
The nominal capacity is measured in ampere hours (Ah). The energy content of the cell determines
at the maximum admitted current for charging and discharging.
The identification plate of the battery contains the capacity information. Depending on the choice of
the level of the discharging current the batteries of identical construction types have different
capacities.
Rule of thumb: If the chosen discharging current is higher, the capacity available will be lower.
Military lead batteries are often defined according to the “5 hour-capacity”.
The definition of the capacities for civil batteries is based on the area of application and the norm to
be applied differs from 10hours to 100hours discharging currents. The treatments which are
implemented in the UL60 consider these problems. After entering the capacity possible in steps of
