What does it mean by nominal power drawn from a battery? is it the total power of the circuit?

Nominal power refers to the maximum power that a battery can deliver under ideal conditions. It is a theoretical value and may not represent the actual power output in real-world scenarios. Total circuit power, on the other hand, is the sum of power consumed by all components in a circuit and represents the actual power dissipated.
No, nominal power alone cannot determine the battery life. Other factors such as discharge rate, temperature, and battery age also play a significant role in determining the battery life.
Nominal power is typically measured in watts (W) and expressed as the product of the battery voltage and current. For example, a 12-volt battery with a nominal current of 5 amps would have a nominal power of 60 watts (12V x 5A).
No, nominal power can vary depending on the battery chemistry. Different battery chemistries have different energy densities and power capabilities, which can affect the nominal power of the battery.
Knowing the nominal power of a battery is crucial for selecting the right battery for a specific application. It can also help determine the maximum power that can be drawn from a battery without damaging it. Additionally, understanding the nominal power can aid in calculating the runtime of a battery in a given circuit.
