Did you know? Battery discharge profiles

Battery discharge profiles describe how a battery’s voltage changes over time (or over capacity) as it discharges under a load. They're crucial for understanding battery performance, and they are typically presented in battery data sheets as a plot of Voltage (y-axis) vs. Time or Capacity (x-axis). The load is also typically assumed to be constant. Pulsed loads better reflect the real-world conditions batteries face in sensor and IoT devices.

If you are discharging batteries with Otii Arc (256-4687) and Ace Pro (257-3555) and Otii Battery Toolbox your battery discharge profiles for pulsed loads will include internal resistance information and can therefore be used to emulate battery behaviour.
