Solar batteries serve as the cornerstone of energy storage systems, carrying the crucial mission of providing stable and reliable energy to the storage system. A deep understanding of the core technical parameters of energy storage batteries helps us accurately grasp their performance characteristics, further enhancing the overall efficiency of energy storage systems. Below, we will provide a detailed interpretation of the main technical parameters of energy storage batteries, assisting you in better application and management of energy storage systems.
Depth of charge and discharge (DOD)
DOD means the depth of discharge, which is the percentage between the battery discharge and the rated capacity of the battery. All discharged electricity is defined as 100% DOD. For example, if the DOD is 60%, it means that the battery is discharged at 60%, and only 40% of the energy remains in the battery.
Generally, the deeper the discharge depth, the shorter the battery cycle life. We suggest our customers use the solar battery at the DOD of 90% to have better status and expand the lifespan of the solar batteries.
what does soc stand for in solar?
The State of Charge (SOC) of a battery is the percentage between the remaining capacity and its rated capacity. It is the opposite value of DOD. For example, if the SOC is 30%, it means the battery has 30% remaining capacity, and is used up 60% capacity.
What does soh stand for?
SOH stand for the state of battery health, it is the measure of the performance and overall health of the battery as it has been used for some time. By monitoring the SOH value, the time when the battery reaches the end of its life can be predicted. The batteries with higher SOH will hold the charge better and have a longer lifespan than those with lower SOH.
