; | ;C: capacity - the charge/discharge rate in an hour. For instance discharging a cell rated 1000mAh at 1C means drawing 1000mA and it should last 1 hour; at 0.1C it would draw 100mA and last 10 hours. | ||
;CC/CV: constant charge / constant voltage - a method of charging lithium-ion batteries where a constant charge is applied until the battery reaches 4.2V, then a constant voltage is applied as the current draw drops. Charging terminates when the current drops to 5% or 10% of the initial charging value. | ;CC/CV: constant charge / constant voltage - a method of charging lithium-ion batteries where a constant charge is applied until the battery reaches 4.2V, then a constant voltage is applied as the current draw drops.
