Standard discharge current is related with nominal/rated battery capacity (for example 2500mAh), and cycle count. If the battery is discharged with a higher current, the real available capacity will be smaller (it may be much smaller).
Learn MoreThe rate at which a battery is discharged can also affect its characteristics. When you discharge a battery at a high rate (i.e., a large current is drawn quickly), its effective capacity can decrease. The reasons behind this are multi-factorial and tied to changes in chemical reactions and impacts tied to the battery's internal resistance.
At high discharge rates, batteries often deliver less energy than their rated capacity. For example, a battery rated at 100Ah may only provide 80Ah at a 2C discharge rate. Overcharging (using a high charging rate) or deep discharging at high rates accelerates the loss of capacity over time, leaving the battery unable to hold its original charge.
This would mean that discharge current would not only affect energy capacity but could also potentially lead to issues relating with heat (combustion). The increased battery temperatures results in higher internal resistances which means less efficiency.
Based on these results, current draw and temperature differences have an influence over the effective battery energy capacity of common AAA batteries. Larger discharge currents consistently led to a lower measurable, starting voltage and faster overall drain. The batteries also showed a difference in the overall total energy output.
The relationship between charge/discharge rates and capacity is complex but essential to understand. At high discharge rates, batteries often deliver less energy than their rated capacity. For example, a battery rated at 100Ah may only provide 80Ah at a 2C discharge rate.
Furthermore, the amplitude of the discharge current may also have an impact on battery performance. This project aims to provide objective data and conclusions on battery voltages in various environments as they are exposed to variable temperatures and drained in circuits consisting of different resistances to control the discharge current.
