What does Round-Trip Efficiency mean?
Round-trip efficiency is the percentage of energy put into a battery system that can be retrieved later after charging, storing, and discharging losses.
Why is round-trip efficiency important?
A battery with higher round-trip efficiency returns more usable energy for every kilowatt-hour charged. Lower efficiency is like a tiny toll booth inside the battery loop, collecting a bit of energy on every trip.
