Why use such a complicated equation for SAMPLE RATE?
The SAMPLE RATE equation: SAMPLE RATE = 1 + ((Nominal Amp Hour / Charge or Discharge Amps) x SMOOTHING) allows the voltage change, between samples, to be roughly the same and independent of charge or discharge rate. It causes the slope curve data to appear similar (for termination or plotting purposes) even though a lower or higher charge/discharge current is used.
