Question

Description acceptable. This quantity over this quantity minus the integral of i dt appears in the semiempirical Shepherd’s equation. Bhadra, et. al. showed a relationship between the coefficient of restitution and this quantity, justifying a (*) "bounce test" used to measure this quantity. The decrease of this quantity due to polysulfides is explained by a shuttle mechanism. The offset of this quantity equals the ratio of two currents raised to the k minus 1 power in the Peukert equation. The decrease of this quantity is known as “fading” and can be caused by the formation of dendrites or a solid electrolyte interface. This quantity is described as a percentage by the SOC and DOD. This quantity is often measured in milliampere-hours and decreases with cycle count. For 10 points, name this quantity that describes how much a battery can be discharged. ■END■

ANSWER: battery capacity [or charge capacity; accept capacity offset; accept battery life; accept maximum charge; prompt on lifespan; prompt on energy]
