A 24 V24\,\text{V} lead–acid battery is rated at 40 Ah40\,\text{Ah}. It is required to run an electronic load for 5 h5\,\text{h} without recharging. (i) Calculate the total electrical energy that the fully charged battery can supply. (ii) Determine the maximum constant power that the load may draw so that the battery lasts exactly 5 h5\,\text{h}. Assume the battery behaviour is ideal.
