Definitions for "Cycle Life"
Number of cycles a battery will undergo before being "worn out."
Number of discharge-charge cycles that a battery can tolerate under specified conditions before it fails to meet specified criteria as to performance (e.g., capacity decreases to 80-percent of the nominal capacity).[to top
The total number of charge/discharge cycles the cell can sustain before it becomes no longer operative (Usually, A battery is considered non-usable if its nominal capacity falls below 60% ~ 80%).
The cycle life or fatigue life expectancy of a bellows is based of the number of complete pressure and displacement cycles that result in metal failure. Cycle life data in this catalog is based on the design methods specified by the Standards of the Expansion Joints Manufacturers Association.
Also known as fatigue life expectancy, is affected by various factors including (but not limited to): operating pressure, operating temperature, bellows material, and bellows design/profile. Change to any of these factors will change cycle life.
A term generally used to express the total life expectancy of a valve in cycles.
