The Rated Capacity (C) of a battery is measured in Ampere Hours (Ah). It defines the size of the “gas tank” and is the current a battery can deliver from fully charged to fully discharged for a period of one hour.
The C-Rate is the rate of charge or discharge expressed as a function of the rated capacity. It Defines how fast the “gas tank” can be drained.
The rated capacity at the battery nominal voltage is expressed in Watt hours (Wh).
