They're equal if they're running at a 1c discharge rate. Lfp, which are stable and good for safety, can have higher discharge rates of 5c up to 25c. Which would mean the capacity would be much less. To compare apples to apples, it'd be much better if they gave both the GW and GWh numbers.
No they’re equal if the battery is designed to provide 1 hr of coverage.
A 1 GWh batter will last 1 hour if its discharge rate is 1 GW.
It’s the timeframe of 1 hour that makes these two measures numerically equal.
That's what 1c means. If it were designed to provide 25GW but only lasted 1hr, then it'd be 25c.
Yep, the two numbers picture the actual status. What good is having a GW power if it lasts for a second, sort of speak.
