(Additional Notes)
・When using batteries in the field, discharge characteristics will vary depending on the type of battery used. Please confirm actual measurements and evaluations individually.
・It may be necessary to smooth peak current to get closer results to the calculated reference values.
・Battery performance and capacity degradation due to the number of charge cycles is not taken into account. (Applies to lithium-ion batteries only)
・Battery performance and capacity degradation due to usage environment is not taken into account.
