Negative Delta V (NDV) -
The NDV is the drop in the battery voltage which occurs when NiCad or NiMH cells reaches their fully charge state. Used to detect the end of the charging cycle in Nicads.
Nominal capacity -
Used to indicate the average capacity of a battery. It is the average capacity when batteries are discharged at 0.2C within one hour of being charged for 16 hours at 0.1C and 20± 5°C. (or discharge at 0.05C for automotive batteries – SAE) Definition depends on the conditions. See Ampere Hours Ah above
Nominal voltage -
Used to indicate the voltage of a battery. Since most discharge curves are neither linear nor flat, a typical value is generally taken which is close to the voltage during actual use.
