Chemical power supply (or battery): a direct chemical energy into electrical energy.

A battery (also known as the original battery): one can only be used to discharge, discharge after not charging method for the recovery and re-use batteries.

Secondary battery (also known as rechargeable batteries): a discharge after charging method for the recovery and re-use batteries.

Open circuit voltage: when the external circuit is disconnected, the potential difference between the battery positive and negative.

Load voltage: battery output current when the battery of the two extremes of the potential difference.

Nominal voltage (also known as the rated voltage): the minimum value of the provisions of the open circuit voltage.

Termination voltage: battery discharge test, the provisions of the end of the load voltage of the discharge.

Storage Life: The battery under specified conditions, storage period at the end of storage, the battery can maintain the required performance.

Nominal capacity: under certain conditions, the provisions of the battery should be given a minimum of power.

Resistance between the poles of resistance: inside the battery.

Cycle life: rechargeable battery can achieve the charge and discharge cycles before failure.

Self-discharge: the battery is charged or stored state, caused by a variety of reasons, the phenomenon of loss of capacity.

Discharge rate: the battery within the specified time to release the current value of the rated capacity when required; or the time required is done by a certain output current rated capacity. Commonly used magnification (C) or when expressed in

The rate of charge: battery charge within the specified time to the current value of the rated capacity required; or charge current to the rated capacity of the time required. Generally with magnification (C) or when expressed in

The constant voltage charging: charging, keep the charger voltage across a charging method is always the same.

The constant current charging: charging, the charging current to maintain the same kind of charging method.

Trickle Charge: constant current charging, the battery low charging rate (C/100C/20) to keep the battery fully charged state of a charging method.

Memory effect: the battery for a long time subjected to a particular work cycle, automatically maintaining the specific electrical properties. Can not release all the rated capacity, can only reach a common depth of discharge. For example: a rated capacity of 100% of the battery when in use, if you have not yet run out of power after charging, long-term effect, the battery will "remember" this "scale", after recharging, charge to this scale "and then not easy to charge and go.

Climbing base (drain) liquid: the upper class out of the battery outer surface of the electrolyte from the battery under normal circumstances contact with the electrolyte or battery parts.

Battery / battery pack: two or more cells in series, parallel with the required operating voltage and current. General use under said battery refers only to a single battery.

Discharge current: the discharge process require much current discharge.

Safety valve: the design of the exhaust holes on the battery cover to take, when the gases released by the battery internal pressure reaches a certain value, the holes valves automatically open the exhaust gas.
