	Glossary of Terms
Equalize Charge	A controlled overcharge of the batteries which brings all cells up to
	the same voltage potential, extends the battery life, restores capacity
	and mixes the electrolyte.
Gel Cell Battery	A type of battery that uses a gelled electrolyte solution. These
	batteries are sealed and are virtually maintenance free. Not all sealed
	batteries are the gel cell type.
Ground	The reference potential of a circuit. In automotive use, the result of
	attaching one battery cable to the body or frame which is used as a
	path for completing a circuit in lieu of a direct wire from a component.
	This method is not suitable for connecting the negative cable of the
	inverter to ground. Instead, route the cable directly to the negative
	terminal of the battery.
LED	Light Emitting Diode, used as an indicator light.
Negative	Designating or pertaining to electrical potential. The negative terminal
	is the point from which electrons flow during discharge.
Ohm	A unit for measuring electrical resistance. Ohm's Law Express the
	relationship between volt (V), amperes (A) in an electrical circuit with
	resistance (R). It can be expressed as follows: V = AR If any two of
	the three values are known, the third value can be calculated by using
	the above formula.
Ohm’s Law	Express the relationship between volt (V), amperes (A) in an electrical
	circuit with resistance (R). It can be expressed as follows: V = AR. If
	any two of the three values are known, the third value can be
	calculated by using the above formula.
Positive	Designating or pertaining to electrical potential; opposite of negative.
	The positive battery terminal is the point where electrons return to the
	battery during discharge.
Power sharing	The ability of the charger to reduce its output when the AC power
	being consumed by the charger and external AC loads connected to
	the output of the inverter are in excess of the input breaker rating.
RCCB	Residual Current Circuit Breaker. A protective device that
	deenergizes a circuit rapidly when current to ground exceeds a
	predetermined value.
Volt	The unit of measure for electric potential.
Volt Amps (VA)	See Watt.
Watt	The unit for measuring electrical power, i.e. the rate of doing work, in
	moving electrons by, or against, an electric potential.
Watt-Hour (WATT-	The unit for measuring electrical energy which equals Watts × Hours.
HR, WH)
Wet Cell Battery	A type of battery that uses liquid as an electrolyte. This type of battery
	requires periodic maintenance such as cleaning the connections and
	checking the electrolyte level.
