A rechargeable battery has an emf of 13.2 V and an internal resistance of 0.850 . It is charged by a 14.7-V power supply for a time interval of 1.80 h. Alter charging, the battery returns to its original state as it delivers a constant current to a load resistor over 7.30 h. Find the efficiency of the battery as an energy storage device.
