Question

What Is Discharge Rate Of Battery?


Open in App
Solution

  1. A common way of specifying the battery capacity is to mention the battery capacity as a function of the time taken to fully discharge the battery.
  2. By this method, the battery capacity is notated as Cx=Z where x is the time taken (in hours) to fully discharge the battery and Z is the battery capacity when the battery is discharged in x hours. For example, C10=Z means that the battery capacity is Z when the battery is discharged in 10 hours.
  3. The discharge rate is obtained by dividing the battery capacity by the time taken to discharge the battery. For example, a battery of 500 Ah capacity that is fully discharged in 20 hours has a discharge rate of 500Ah20h=25A.
  4. Thus, the discharge rate of a battery is the battery capacity divided by the time it takes to completely discharge the battery.
