Depth of Discharge (DOD) refers to the percentage of a battery's capacity that has been used during a discharge cycle. . As lithium-ion energy storage systems become increasingly essential in residential solar setups, commercial and industrial energy storage, and electric vehicles, one factor plays a pivotal role in system efficiency and battery longevity: Depth of Discharge (DOD). DoD and SoC always add up to 100%: DoD (%) = 100% − SoC (%). It is essentially the inverse of another important energy storage metric, State of Charge (SoC), which measures how much energy remains in the battery. Let's dive deeper into what affects battery lifespan and explore the DoDs of some of EnergySage's most popular batteries. Depth of discharge (DoD). .
