To calculate the reserve capacity (\(RC\)):
\[ RC = \left( \frac{BC}{LC} \right) \times 60 \]
Where:
Reserve capacity is a measure of how long a battery can run a specific load before it is fully discharged. It is an important specification for batteries in vehicles and backup power systems, as it indicates the battery’s ability to provide power in the event of an alternator or power source failure.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ RC = \left( \frac{100}{10} \right) \times 60 = 600 \text{ minutes} \]
The reserve capacity is 600 minutes.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ RC = \left( \frac{80}{8} \right) \times 60 = 600 \text{ minutes} \]
The reserve capacity is 600 minutes.
