State of Charge(SOC) is the proportion of the charge available at this point, compared to the total charge available when charging.
Death of Discharge(DOD) is the charge removed from the total charge available which unit is amper-hour(Ah) when discharging.
SOC isn't the inverse of DOD. The difference between them:
- 1. Units are different.
- 2. The difference in value when the battery is empty. For example, in that case, the SOC is 0% and the DOD is 100Ah when battery capacity is 100Ah, while the SOC is 0% and the DOD is 50Ah when battery capacity is 50Ah.
