How quickly do NiZn batteries self-discharge?
The self-discharge rate is the natural loss of battery power or energy capacity when the battery is standing idle and not in use. PowerGenix batteries have a self-discharge rate equal of approximately 8 percent per month at room temperature. This is comparable to other rechargeable batteries. I keep hearing about mAh and mWh. What do these things mean and why do they matter? Battery capacity is measured as a product of the battery’s current and time rating and is often represented as amp hours (ah) or milliamp hours (mAh). However, this measurement omits a valuable gauge of battery performance: voltage. To address this, battery functionality is often measured in milliwatt hours (mWh), which is the product of mAh and voltage. This approach provides a more informative and precise measurement of the amount of energy contained in the battery and the battery’s ability to deliver that energy to a product. This is often necessary to analyze and compare today’s differentiated battery market. F
