In this video, we dive into the crucial concepts of round-trip efficiency and depth of discharge, explaining why they matter when evaluating your battery’s performance. We'll break down the difference between usable power and overall capacity, using simple examples to show how depth of discharge (DoD) impacts the amount of power you can use.
We’ll also explore round-trip efficiency, which tells you how much energy is lost when storing and retrieving power from your battery. For instance, we compare a typical 48V system with an 80% DoD and a 15% energy loss to a higher voltage system with a 90% DoD and 97% efficiency. By the end, you’ll understand how these factors influence your battery’s true usable power and why this matters for your energy investment.
Watch to get the details on how to maximize your system's efficiency and ensure you're making the most of your battery's capacity!
