If a battery's State of Health (SOH) declines, what is the most likely impact on the storage system?

State of Health shows how much of the battery’s original capacity and ability to deliver power remains. When SOH declines, the battery stores less energy and delivers less current at a given state of charge because capacity is reduced and internal resistance often rises. In a storage system, that means shorter run times and lower peak power, plus more heat and lower efficiency during charging and discharging. Overall, you’re looking at reduced performance and potential capacity loss as the system ages.
