How much discharge rate should I choose for energy storage lithium batteries?
Shallow Discharge: Using only 20–30% of the battery’s capacity. Deep Discharge: Using 80–100% of the battery’s capacity. Deeper discharges can shorten the battery’s lifespan. For example, a battery cycled at 80% DoD may last only 500 cycles, while the same battery cycled at 20% DoD could last cycles.
