Talk:State of charge

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the moresources tag, as there are some 373,000 google matches of this exact phrase. (SOC) State Of Charge is a term used so widely that I'm hard pressed to site a single Reliable sources WP:RS. I thought that perhaps I could simply explain SOC as I understand it and then later work to add more external links WP:EL. --D0li0 07:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not specific to automotive

[edit]

The term "state of charge" is not specific automotive batteries: http://www.energymatters.com.au/renewable-energy/batteries/battery-voltage-discharge.phpFleminra (talk) 18:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right; I've also seen it to describe computer batteries. I added a new opening sentence and reorganized the lead to avoid undue weight on automotive use. 68.5.247.58 (talk) 19:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is percentage a unit?

[edit]

The second sentence of the article says, "The units of SoC are percentage points.." A unit of charge, when discussing batteries, is Amp-hours. But isn't relative charge (Amp-hours/Amp-hours) unitless? Or is it, as in the case of decibels, that putting a unitless ratio, without a reference quantity, through a log transform by definition produces a number followed by a unit (deciBel or "dB")?
