The capacity of a battery is the amount of electrical energy that it can deliver and is simply the product of its rated discharge current (A) and rated discharge time (hours). Capacity (C) is normally quoted in ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh). The capacity of a battery is somewhat dependent upon the rate of discharge and thus, to be strictly meaningful, the ampere-hour rate should be specified for a stated discharge rate (e.g. 2,500 mAh for a discharge current of 500 mA over a five-hour period). Depending upon the application envisaged, cells are often rated for discharge periods of between two and sixteen hours.

The amount of energy stored in a battery is commonly measured in ampere-hours (Ah). While Ah are technically not units of energy, but, rather, units of charge, the amount of charge in a battery is approximately proportional to the energy stored in the battery. If the battery voltage remains constant, then the energy stored in watt-hours (Wh) is simply the product of the charge in Ah and the voltage in V.

The capacity of a battery is measured in Ampere–hours and its rating is required by law in Europe, under the EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC. The Ampere–hour capacity is equal to the product of the current in Amperes and the time in hours during which the battery is supplying current. For instance, a 10 Ah battery can be used for 10 hours at 1 Ampere before being discharged.

Batteries are required to store leftover electricity generated by the PV system when there is excess of energy or when there is unavailability of load. This energy can be utilised for various purposes when there is no other available energy input (Meral and Dincer 2011). Batteries are also required to protect the PV system from its fluctuating nature. Batteries have a life time of 3–5 years. Certain parameters such as charging/discharging cycles and temperature influence the life time of battery. The storage capacity of the batteries is represented in Ampere hour or Ah. Lead acid, nickel cadmium, nickel hydride and lithium are different types of batteries available in the market. Various functions performed by battery in the PV system are (Pradhan, Ali, and Behera 2012): Energy storage: it stores electrical energy produced by the PV system and supplies this stored energy to load when required.To stabilise voltage: it suppresses voltage fluctuations in PV systems and supplies power to electrical loads at stable voltage thus protecting loads from damage.Surge supply current: batteries are required to supply the starting current to motor and other inductive loads. Therefore, battery design and operating parameters of systems are important consideration regarding the performance of PV systems having battery storage.

The State-of-Charge (SOC) is an important evaluation index for power battery systems in electric vehicles (He et al. 2013). There are many ways to estimate SOC value of EV batteries. In this paper, an adaptive method combining open-circuit voltage method and ampere-time method is selected (Nait-Sidi-Moh et al. 2018). The ampere-hour method is used to solve the problem of the large error of the open-circuit voltage method in the case of insufficient battery placement time. The voltage measured by the open-circuit method is used to correct the accumulated errors of the ampere-hour method. Thus, the combination of these two can improve the accuracy of the calculation.
