8. Battery capacity and Peukert exponent
Lead acid are more affected by this than lithium batteries are. The battery monitor takes this phenomenon into account with Peukert exponent. Discharge rate example. A lead acid battery is rated at 100Ah at C20, this means that this battery can deliver a total current of 100A over 20 hours at a rate of 5A per hour. C20 = 100Ah (5 x 20 = 100).
