description of the battery(Type-47a), it is written that ''</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 12pt;"><i>This
model of a lead-acid storage battery operates in conjunction with solar cell array and power conditioning components.

output any values of current or voltage.''</i> It seems that the component type-47a is developed based on the charging/discharge rate of lead-acid battery, usually, it is low. From the simulation, I experienced that the error percentage in Energy Balance increases
when increasing the charging/discharging rate. I also read the Trnsys forum, there it is mentioned that the Type-47a is not suitable for lithium-ion battery, but it was written many years before.</span><br>

the type47a is suitable to do the function of a lithium-ion battery. If not, please suggest a suitable component type for that. </span></p>
