Model

Capacity (watts, load-side)

Capacity (watts, load-side): Ah = (P × t) / (V × DoD × η)
Capacity (amps, battery-side): Ah = (I × t) / DoD
Approximate cell geometry (nominal): Ns = ceil(V/Vcell); Np = ceil(Ah/Ah_cell); V_pack = Ns·Vcell

Assumptions / Validity

Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.

Assumptions

Constant load; ceil cell counts as nominal packing estimate; not Peukert or BMS design
Amps mode I_A is battery-side; η does not enter Ah
V is target/system nominal voltage; V_pack = Ns·V_cell may differ

Example

Call this capability

Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version. Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 4/4.
