Understanding Battery Capacity: Measurement and Optimization
To measure battery capacity in ampere-hours (Ah), you can use the Coulomb Counting method. Follow these steps: Discharge the battery at a constant current, I (amperes), and record the time, t (hours), it takes to reach the cut-off voltage. Calculate the battery capacity using the formula: Capacity (Ah) = I * t

The charging/discharge rate may be specified directly by giving the current - for example, a battery may be charged/discharged at 10 A. However, it is more common to specify the charging/discharging rate by determining the amount of time it takes to fully discharge the battery. In this case, the discharge rate is given by the battery capacity (in Ah) divided by the number

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). Discharging the battery with a lower current will extend the real available capacity a little bit.

Get a quote6 FAQs about [How much is the battery capacity discharge current setting]
How much does a high discharge current affect battery capacity?
With a higher discharge current, of say 40A, the capacity might fall to 400Ah. In other words, by increasing the discharge current by a factor of about 7, the overall capacity of the battery has fallen by 33%. It is very important to look at the capacity of the battery in Ah and the discharge current in A.
How do I set the charge/discharge current for the batteries?
You set the charge/discharge current for the batteries on the inverter in the battery setup page of the settings menu. The Sunsynk 5.12/5.32kWh batteries have a capacity of about 100Ah and a 50A continuous charge/discharge current so you can set the capacity charge and discharge using these values.
How do you calculate battery charge/discharge rates?
The battery charge/discharge rates are measured in current (A). To work out the maximum charge/discharge power of the battery you will multiply this current (A) by the BMS voltage. The BMS voltage of a battery will vary between make/model/manufacturer so always refer to your batteries datasheet/manual for the correct current and voltage limits.
Does a battery bank have a daily depth of discharge?
Typically in a larger scale PV system (such as that for a remote house), the battery bank is inherently sized such that the daily depth of discharge is not an additional constraint. However, in smaller systems that have a relatively few days storage, the daily depth of discharge may need to be calculated.
How is battery capacity measured?
The energy stored in a battery, called the battery capacity, is measured in either watt-hours (Wh), kilowatt-hours (kWh), or ampere-hours (Ahr). The most common measure of battery capacity is Ah, defined as the number of hours for which a battery can provide a current equal to the discharge rate at the nominal voltage of the battery.
How many Ah can a battery discharge in 20 hours?
The discharge current would have to be 400A to discharge the battery in an hour. If the battery has a C20 capacity of 600Ah, it means that when the battery is discharged in 20 hours, it has a capacity of 600Ah. The discharge current would have to be 30A to discharge the battery in 20 hours (600Ah / 20h).
