1. I have a data logger for 48V battery which takes reading every 1 second of voltage & current & store it in a file.
2. Reading is something like this:
a) 47.4V, 50A
b) 47.3V, 49.4A
..
..
and so on until battery discharges completely in one hour.
3. How to calculate Watt & Watt hour consumed from it over hour
Normally if voltage is same, I calculate by difference of current between two multiply by voltage.
But in this case voltage is also reducing(during discharge) & going up during charge.
How to do the calculations of Watt & Watt/hour in it, should I take average of voltage over period of time & multiply by current difference?
