Internal Resistance of a 12V Battery: Performance, Testing, and Capacity Insights
The internal resistance of a 12V battery shows how easily current flows through it. New 12V batteries usually measure between 0.011 and 0.016 ohms. Older batteries can exceed 0.025 ohms. Higher internal resistance lowers efficiency and capacity while raising heat and self-discharge rates, affecting power delivery. Testing internal resistance involves using specialized equipment to measure … Read more
