Calculate the capacity of a battery for a given discarge time with a constant load.
batteryCapacityForDischargeTime(
10 hours,
100 mA
)
| dischargeTime | the desired discharge time. |
| loadCurrent | load current. |
| k | Peukerts constant. It depends on battery type. If not given 1.3 is assumed. |
| dischargeRate | the discarge rate of the battery. If not given 20 hour rate is assumed (good for 99% of specifications). |
| return value | the capacity of the battery. |
NOTE: This version of battery capacity specification is used in most of the cases. If you are looking for Peukert's capacity (rarely used), check out batteryCapacityForDischargeTime1H.
