Definitions & Abbreviations • Ampacity: The allowable current-carrying capacity of a conductor measured in amps. Ampacity is the current, in Amperes, that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. • Battery Capacity: The power a battery can deliver from full charge at standard temperature, and at a specified (usually C10) discharge rate.
