Battery two-point self-discharge rate calculator

Calculate observed charge loss and observed relative loss with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use observed charge loss and observed relative loss to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Observed charge loss (Ah/day)

Compare matching-condition charge measurements; linear average loss plus equivalent compound daily retention, not chemistry attribution.

Observed relative loss (%/day)

Compare matching-condition charge measurements; linear average loss plus equivalent compound daily retention, not chemistry attribution.

Compounded daily retention (%)

Compare matching-condition charge measurements; linear average loss plus equivalent compound daily retention, not chemistry attribution.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Compare matching-condition charge measurements; linear average loss plus equivalent compound daily retention, not chemistry attribution. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
