I'm trying to figure out how to calculate how much energy is stored in a battery between certain voltages. I know capacity is traditionally calculated by multiplying amps drawn by nominal voltage by time, but this seems like an approximation because voltage decreases as the battery is discharged. Also, the current drawn can change.
So if I had a graph of voltage vs time and a graph of amperage vs time, how would I go about calculating capacity between two voltages?
If it is necessary we can assume that voltage and amps vs time can be expressed by continuous functions.
Thanks!
