Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.


Using a simple model of the battery as a fixed internal resistance of 0.011 ohms in series with a constant 12.7v voltage source, it's straightforward to compare the energy wasted across the internal resistance for the same ampere-hours at different currents.

But it's even worse than that. A close look at the battery discharge curves suggests that the internal resistance is not constant, but rather increases substantially with current.
