C rates are an easy way to compare across different form factors, cell designs, and chemistries.
A 1C rate is the current that will discharge a cell in 1 hour. So to plot discharge C rates in Voltaiq, we want to divide the current cycle's discharge rate by the nominal 1C current.
To produce a capacity vs. C rate plot:
1. Choose "Minimum Discharge Current" for the X Axis, and "Discharge Capacity" for the Y Axis.
2. Under "Normalizations & Transforms", select 'Constant' under 'Normalize x-Axis'. Enter in a value that corresponds to the nominal 1C current.
The above 2 steps will divide the x-axis, Minimum Discharge Current, by the nominal 1C current. For example, if the nominal 1C current is 0.00443A, and the current cycle's discharge current is 0.00886A, then the C rate is calculated as 0.00886A / 0.00443A = 2C.
3. Under 'Formatting', rename the x-Axis to a more appropriate label, like 'Discharge C Rate'.
