State of charge

Latest updated: Jan 23, 2024

State of charge (SOC) refers to the percentage of the actual capacity that can be released under manufacturer-specified discharge conditions in the current battery cell, module, battery pack, or system.

Its value ranges from 0 to 1, where SOC=0 indicates the battery is completely discharged, and SOC=1 indicates the battery is fully charged.

Capacity per gram

The capacity released by the internal active material of a battery during discharge divided by the mass of the active material.Note: Specific capacity is typically expressed in milliampere-hours per gram (mAh/g). Sometimes, the calculation of specific capacity includes the mass of all non-active materials, such as conductive additives and binders.
