Battery cabinet AC internal resistance
Measurement methods for the internal resistance of batteries can be divided up into two categories: DC (Direct Current) techniques and AC (Alternating Current) techniques.
There are three frequency regimes to consider when dealing with batteries: 1. Ultra low frequencies. These are frequencies measured in inverse hours or days. In this regime the battery acts like you would expect it to. At low frequency a battery will act like a current source plus resistance.
In this regime the battery acts like you would expect it to. At low frequency a battery will act like a current source plus resistance. All of the energy transfer will be due to ion movement through the electrolyte and none will be due to surface charge or capacitive storage.
A battery's capacity is the amount of electric charge it can deliver at a voltage that does not drop below the specified terminal voltage. The more electrode material contained in the cell the greater its capacity. A small cell has less capacity than a larger cell with the same chemistry, although they develop the same open-circuit voltage.
At low frequency a battery will act like a current source plus resistance. All of the energy transfer will be due to ion movement through the electrolyte and none will be due to surface charge or capacitive storage. 2. Medium frequencies, 1kHz to 1 Hz you are dealing in the regime of ion movement.
