    29 T echnical Not es Battery Charge F actor (BCF) Some energy is lost both when rechar ging and discharg ing a batter y . The FLEXnet DC compensates for these losses by discounting the amp-hours charg ing the batter y , meaning it doesn ’t count every hour used for rechar ging as actually recharg ing. Some of them are lost due to heat and gassing[...]
