The ability of a fully charged battery to deliver a specified quantity of electricity (Amp-Hr, AH) at a given rate (Amp, A) over a definite period of time (Hr) is defined by its capacity. The capacity of a battery depends upon a number of factors such as: active material weight, density, adhesion to grid, number, design and dimensions of plates, plate spacing, design of separators, specific gravity and quantity of available electrolyte, grid alloys, final limiting voltage, discharge rate, temperature, internal and external resistance, age and life history of the battery.

The amount of electric power that can be delivered at one time by a generating unit, generating station, NUG, or all the plants on an electric system. Cogenerator - A power plant that produces both electrical (or mechanical) energy and thermal (steam or process heat) energy. Sometimes the term is loosely used to refer to all NUGs, because NUGs in the early '80's were cogenerators, under PURPA.

The number of ampere hours a battery can supply at a given rate of current flow after being fully charged, e.g., a battery may be capable of supplying 10 amperes of current for 8 hours before it is exhausted. Its capacity is 80 ampere hours at the 8 hours rate of current flow. It is necessary to state the. rate of flow, since same battery if discharged at 20 amperes would not last for 4 hours but for a shorter period, say 3 hours. Hence, its capacity at the 3 hour rate would be 3x2O=60 ampere hours.
