4 FAQs about How much is the discharge rate of the solar battery cabinet

What is the depth of discharge of a solar battery?

The depth of discharge is the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the total battery capacity. For example, if you discharge 6 kWh from a solar battery with a capacity of 8 kWh, the battery's depth of discharge would be 75% (6 kWh / 8 kWh). WHAT IS THE STATE OF CHARGE?

How to size a solar battery storage?

Now, to size a solar battery storage, use the formula: Battery Capacity = Daily average energy consumption (kWh)/ (Depth of Discharge × Efficiency) Depth of Discharge (DoD) is the percentage of battery capacity you can use before recharging.

How long does a solar battery last?

For most solar applications, 8 hours is a relevant charge / discharge time period. So look at the Nominal Capacity at the C8 rate. This will give you the discharge current required to discharge the battery over 8 hours. From this current and the operating voltage you can work out the continuous power output of the battery over 8 hours.

What is the difference between battery capacity and depth of discharge?

Battery capacity is the total electrical energy supply available from the battery, expressed as a unit of power over time, such as kilowatt-hours (kWh). The depth of discharge is the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the total battery capacity.
