Deep Discharge | Withdrawal of 50% or more of the rated capacity of a cell or battery. |
Deionized Water | Water which has been freed of ions by treatment with ion exchange resins. |
Depth Of Discharge | The portion of the nominal capacity from a cell or battery taken out during each discharge cycle, expressed in percent. Shallow depth of discharge is considered as 10% or less, deep depth of discharge is considered 50% or more. |
Discharge | The conversion of the chemical energy of a cell or battery into electrical energy and withdrawal of the electrical energy into a load. |
Discharge rate | The rate of current flow from a cell or battery. |
Distilled Water | Water which has been freed of ions by a process of vaporization and subsequent condensation. |
Drain Discharge | Withdrawal of all charge capacity from a cell or battery at a reduced current rate after the cell of battery has been partially discharged at a higher current rate. |
Dry Charge | Process by which the electrodes are formed and assembled in a charged state. The cell or battery is activated when the electrolyte is added. |
Dry Shelf Life | The period of time that a cell or battery can stand without electrolyte before deteriorating beyond a point where a specified capacity or voltage level can no longer be obtained, when packed and stored accord to specifications. |
Duty Cycle | The conditions and usage to which a battery is subjected during operation, consisting of charge, overcharge, and discharge. |
