Container Energy Storage System
A high-performance, all-in-one, containerized battery energy storage system developed by Mate Solar, provides C&I users with the intelligent and reliable solution to optimize energy
Depth of Discharge refers to the percentage of a battery's total capacity that has been used. For example, if you have a 10kWh solar battery and you've used 5kWh of its stored energy, your battery has a 50% Depth of Discharge. It's important to note that most solar batteries are not designed to be completely discharged to 0%.
Depth of discharge (DoD) indicates the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the overall capacity of the battery. State of charge (SoC) indicates the amount of battery capacity still stored and available for use. A battery's "cyclic life" is the number of charge/discharge cycles in its useful life.
If the capacity is fully discharged in 1 hour, it is called 1C discharge; if it is fully discharged in 2 hours, it is called 1/2=0.5C discharge. Generally, the capacity of the battery can be detected by different discharge currents. For a 24Ah battery, the 1C discharge current is 24A, and the 0.5C discharge current is 12A.
For example, if you have a 10kWh solar battery and you've used 5kWh of its stored energy, your battery has a 50% Depth of Discharge. It's important to note that most solar batteries are not designed to be completely discharged to 0%. Doing so can reduce their overall lifespan and performance.
