What is the maximum current of the 4868 battery

What is a maximum discharge current?

Maximum Continuous Discharge Current This is the maximum current at which the battery can be discharged continuously. This limit is usually defined by the battery manufacturer in order to prevent excessive discharge rates that would damage the battery or reduce its capacity. Maximum 30-sec Discharge Pulse Current

What is a battery discharge limit?

This limit is usually defined by the battery manufacturer in order to prevent excessive discharge rates that would damage the battery or reduce its capacity. Maximum 30-sec Discharge Pulse Current This is the maximum current at which the battery can be discharged for pulses of up to 30 seconds.

How do you know if a battery has a Max discharge current?

There is no generic answer to this. You read the battery datasheet. Either it will tell you the max discharge current, or it will tell you the capacity at a particular discharge rate, probably in the form C/20 where C means the capacity. You know the current you need : 4.61A.

Do batteries have a max current drain?

So, yes. Batteries have a max current drain (given by design and physical/chemical limitations) and yes the storage rating (being Ah, Wh or Joules) changes depending on battery design and load applied, and yes Wh is a better way to compare batteries because it takes voltage in account.

How do you calculate a battery rated capacity (SoC)?

Capacity is calculated by multiplying the discharge current (in Amps) by the discharge time (in hours) and decreases with increasing C-rate. SOC is defined as the remaining capacity of a battery and it is affected by its operating conditions such as load current and temperature. It is calculated as: SOC = Remaining Capacity Rated Capacity

What is a good battery capacity?

If it lists the capacity as 50Ah at C/20 (common for lead-acid), that's 2.5A so you might want a better battery. EDT as Andy says, if your device draws bursts of higher current, you also need to know the max (not continuous, maybe called peak) discharge current of your battery matches whatever your load needs.
