A smart battery may require a 15 percent discharge after charge to qualify for a discharge cycle; anything less is not counted as a cycle. A battery in a satellite has a typical DoD of 30–40 percent before the batteries are recharged during the satellite day. A new EV battery may only charge to 80 percent and discharge to 30 percent.

A battery''s depth of discharge (DoD) indicates the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the overall capacity of the battery. For example, if you have a LG Chem RESU that holds 9.3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, and you discharge 8.8 kWh, the DoD is approximately 95 percent.

Short for Depth of Discharge, DoD indicates the state of discharge of batteries. It refers to how much a battery is discharged as a percentage from its fully charged state. The inverse is State of Charge (SoC), the parameter that shows how much it is charged. For example, a battery with a 100 % DoD has a 0 % SoC, or the amount it is
