Question B-003-016-008

Battery capacity is commonly stated as a value of current delivered over a specified period of time. What is the effect of exceeding that specified current?

Correct Answer

A battery charge will not last as long

Explanation

Drawing current at a rate higher than the battery's specified rating (e.g., the 20-hour rate) reduces the total Ampere-hour capacity deliverable due to internal losses (Peukert effect).
