- The rate at which energy is withdrawn. If a battery lead acid battery is discharged rapidly, the amount of usable energy decreases. Conversely, if discharged slowly, the usable energy increases. This is measured in in terms of C-rate. A C-rate of 1 means that the entire capacity of the battery is discharged in 1 hour. A C-rate of 20 or C/20 means that the entire capacity of the battery is discharged over the course of 20 hours. Lead acid batteries are typically rated by their C/20 rate. Below is an example for a Trojan 12 V 205 Ah AGM battery:[1]
