Which metric measures the total energy a battery can deliver over its lifetime?

  1. Energy Density
  2. Power Density
  3. Cycle Life
  4. Lifetime Energy Throughput

Answer: Lifetime Energy Throughput

Lifetime Energy Throughput = Nominal Capacity × Cycle Life × Depth of Discharge. Critical for comparing storage economics: high-throughput batteries (LFP, flow) suit frequent cycling; high-energy-density (NMC) suit weight-sensitive applications. Essential for energy storage planning questions.
