How Does Depth of Discharge Impact Battery Lifespan
What Is Depth of Discharge (DoD) in Battery Systems? Depth of Discharge (DoD) measures the percentage of a battery’s capacity used relative to its total capacity. For example, discharging a 100 kWh battery to 30% leaves a 70% DoD. Managing DoD is critical because deeper discharges increase chemical stress, accelerating degradation. Lithium-ion batteries typically perform … Read more
