State of Charge

Back to Glossary

Battery State of Charge is the charge left in a battery, usually represented as a percentage from 0 to 100%. While often thought of as a "fuel gauge" for a battery, this measurement does poorly predict remaining energy, as changes to several external factors can influence a battery's usable energy.
