Key Concepts

State of Charge (SoC)

The state of charge represents the current available energy within a battery as a percentage of its full capacity. It indicates how much usable charge remains and is an essential metric for assessing battery performance and longevity.

Battery Capacity

Battery capacity is the total amount of electric charge a battery can store and deliver, typically measured in ampere-hours (Ah). It serves as the reference point against which the state of charge is determined, illustrating how much of the battery's stored energy has been used or remains.

Measurement Methods

Different techniques exist to evaluate a battery's state of charge, including monitoring the cumulative ampere-hours discharged, voltage measurements, or, in the case of certain battery chemistries like lead-acid, assessing the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Each method provides insights into the battery’s condition, although some may be more accurate or practical depending on the application.
