1. DC Measurement Methods The Voltage Drop Method, often referred to as the Current Interrupt Method, is a straightforward and widely used technique for measuring internal resistance. Fully Charge the Battery: Ensure the battery is fully charged and allow it to stabilize.
Load current flows from the battery (under test) through the meter leads en route to the load resistance (inside the meter) so the value of ‘internal resistance’ obtained will be the sum of lead resistance and battery internal resistance.
The most common method for determining a battery’s internal resistance is to connect it to a circuit with a resistor, measure voltage through the battery, calculate current, measure voltage through the resistor, find the voltage drop, and use Kirchhoff laws to determine the remaining resistance, which is internal resistance.
Now, let’s connect the circuit to measure the internal resistance: Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive (red) lead of the digital multimeter using an alligator clip. Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the known-value resistor using another alligator clip.
make the period of connection of battery and the resistor as short as possible - use a reasonable value of resistance, 10ohm should be sufficient for all kind of test. Even thought the value of the resistance is printed, you still need to confirm whether the actual resistance is the same as shown.
The resistance of modern lead acid and lithium-ion batteries stays flat through most of the service life. Better electrolyte additives have reduced internal corrosion issues that affect the resistance. This corrosion is also known as parasitic reactions on the electrolyte and electrodes.
