Resistance of NiMH battery quick question

anyone know offhand??
need it for simulation..

Do you mean 'internal resistance'?, if so it's very low, but I've no idea what value it might be, and it will vary with the size and make of battery, plus how charged it is.

Yet another reason not to use simulators?.
 
Why not look at a manufacturer's datasheet?
Also, if you look at their application notes and charging guide, you'll see about things you haven't thought about yet. Don't re-invent the wheel. :lol:

Don't forget about the resistance of the battery's connections.

Thanks ,yes i ment internal resistance..
thats lower than i thought ..

That's why it's VERY, VERY important NEVER to short out a NiMh or NiCd battery - they contain enough energy, and a low enough internal resistance, to destroy themselves.
 
i guess Energizer looks at the glass half empty , instead of half full..
lol
Isnt a battery that is 1/2 discharged also 1/2 charged.. lol
