Definition

The current stored electrical charge in an electrochemical storage device expressed as a fraction or percentage of a defined reference capacity (nominal or usable); SoC quantifies relative remaining charge but is method‑dependent (e.g., coulomb counting, open‑circuit voltage mapping, impedance) and must specify the referenced capacity and measurement uncertainty.
