  2. Depth of discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_discharge

    Depth of discharge (DoD) is an important parameter appearing in the context of rechargeable battery operation. Two non-identical definitions can be found in commercial and scientific sources. The depth of discharge is defined as: the maximum fraction of a battery's capacity (given in Ah) which is removed from the charged battery on a regular basis.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

    Consider a battery that has been completely discharged (such as occurs when leaving the car lights on overnight, a current draw of about 6 amps). If it then is given a fast charge for only a few minutes, the battery plates charge only near the interface between the plates and the electrolyte.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_regenerator

    As a battery is discharged the density of lead sulfate in solution increases. In common designs, it reaches a critical density when discharged to about 75% depth of discharge, or below. [2] For instance, a 12V battery with a 100 ampere hour (Ah) capacity will reach this density when 25 Ah (300 Wh) or more have been drawn from the battery. At ...

    Boosting a dead battery through a battery charger can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the depth-of-discharge (DOD), health of the vehicle battery, and type of engine (engine displacement). AC power is not usually available for a roadside boost. Jump starters are portable battery devices that allow for jump starting of ...

    Nissan Leaf cutaway showing part of the battery in 2009. An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). They are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density.
