Battery Capacity Test

For a lead-acid battery, the test time is approximated to be near the battery''s duty cycle. Most lead-acid batteries have a duty cycle of 5-8 hours and this is the timeline used and the end discharge voltage is usually 1.75-1.8 volts per cell or 10.5-10.6volts. To get the best results, use the same testing times in the battery''s lifetime to improve the accuracy and …

11.5: Batteries

Because galvanic cells can be self-contained and portable, they can be used as batteries and fuel cells. A battery (storage cell) is a galvanic cell (or a series of galvanic cells) that contains all the reactants needed to produce electricity. In contrast, a fuel cell is a galvanic cell that requires a constant external supply of one or more reactants to generate electricity.
