Charge Capacity

Charge capacity refers to the maximum amount of electric charge a battery or capacitor can store and deliver under specified conditions. It is typically measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh) for batteries, indicating how much current a battery can provide over time before it is depleted. In capacitors, charge capacity can be viewed in terms of capacitance, measured in farads (F), which reflects the capability to hold an electrical charge. Charge capacity is a critical factor in determining the performance and usability of energy storage devices, influencing how long they can power a device and how much energy they can store for future use. High charge capacity is desirable in applications where long-lasting energy supply is crucial.
