  • Page 59: Internal Resistance Of Lead-Acid Batteries

    ___________________________________________________________________ 5.10 Internal Resistance of Lead-Acid Batteries This shows the relationship between the capacity for lead- acid batteries and the initial value for internal resistance. (Quote: Text from battery fitters qualification lecture notes, Battery Industry Association) The terms CS, HS, and MSE appearing in the figure are battery types defined by JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards).
  • Page 60 ___________________________________________________________________ From the figure, MSE internal resistance can be read as approximately 1 mΩ (at 100Ah), or approximately 0.13 mΩ (at 1000 Ah). When the battery deteriorates, internal resistance rises to 1.5 to 2 times the initial value (reference value). With an MSE (seal type stationary lead-acid battery), battery condition is regarded as marginal when internal resistance reaches 1.5 times the initial value, and complete...
