2. Float voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_voltage

   Float voltage is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge of the battery. [1] The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in an automotive battery) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the charger. [2]

3. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle. Once the engine is running, power for the car ...

4. Nickel–metal hydride battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–metal_hydride_battery

   At this charge rate, Panasonic recommends to terminate charging when the voltage drops 5–10 mV per cell from the peak voltage. [22] Since this method measures the voltage across the battery, a constant-current (rather than a constant-voltage) charging circuit is used.

5. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

   If a battery has been completely discharged (e.g. the car lights were left on overnight) and next is given a fast charge for only a few minutes, then during the short charging time it develops only a charge near the interface. The battery voltage may rise to be close to the charger voltage so that the charging current decreases significantly.

6. Electric vehicle battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery

   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. Compared to liquid fuels, most current battery technologies have much lower ...

7. Plug-in electric vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicle

   A plug-in electric vehicle ( PEV) is any road vehicle that can utilize an external source of electricity (such as a wall socket that connects to the power grid) to store electrical energy within its onboard rechargeable battery packs, to power an electric motor and help propelling the wheels. PEV is a subset of electric vehicles, and includes ...

8. Vehicle-to-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid

   Battery capacity is a complex function of battery chemistry, charge/discharge rates, temperature, state of charge and age, but is improving as technology improves. Most studies of the effects of V2G on battery life show that slower V2G discharge rates lessen degradation, while one study suggested that using vehicles for grid storage could ...

9. Open-circuit voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_voltage

   The voltage v oc between the terminals is the open-circuit voltage of the device. Black curve: The highest possible open-circuit voltage of a solar cell in the Shockley-Queisser model under unconcentrated sunlight, as a function of the semiconductor bandgap. The red dotted line shows that this voltage is always smaller than the bandgap voltage.
