Battery internal resistance pulse test calculator

Calculate observed pulse resistance with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use observed pulse resistance to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Observed pulse resistance (ohms)

Observed DC pulse Δvoltage/Δcurrent with discharge-positive current; test duration, temperature and SOC determine interpretation.

Observed pulse resistance (milliohms)

Observed DC pulse Δvoltage/Δcurrent with discharge-positive current; test duration, temperature and SOC determine interpretation.

Symbols and units
a
Voltage before discharge pulse (V)
b
Voltage during discharge pulse (V)
c
Current before pulse (A)
d
Current during pulse (A)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Observed DC pulse Δvoltage/Δcurrent with discharge-positive current; test duration, temperature and SOC determine interpretation. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
