3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 19596 and GB 38031 and the following apply.
3.1
high energy battery
battery of which the ratio of maximum permissible continuous output electric power (W) to 3I3 rated discharge energy (Wh) at room temperature is less than 10
Note: High energy batteries are typically used in battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

3.3
rated capacity
capacity (Ah) measured at a discharge current of 1I3 for high energy battery and 1 I1 for high power battery and declared by the manufacturer after being fully charged at room temperature
[Source: GB/T 19596-2017, 3.3.3.4.2, modified]
3.4
rated energy
energy (Wh) measured at a discharge current of 1 I3 for high energy battery and 1 I1 for high power battery and declared by the manufacturer after being fully charged at room temperature
[Source: GB/T 19596-2017, 3.3.3.5.3, modified]
3.5
initial capacity
discharge capacity (Ah) of the newly-manufactured traction battery when it is fully charged at room temperature, and is discharged to the discharge termination condition specified by the manufacturer with the current of 1 I3 for high energy battery and 1 I1 for high power battery
