The internal resistance of the battery pack is made up of the cells, busbars, busbar joints, fuses, contactors, current shunt and connectors. As the cells are connected in parallel and series you need to take this into account when calculating the total resistance.
When connecting two battery cells in parallel, you should be able to calculate the equivalent internal resistance using the formula 1 R = 1 r1 + 1 r2. This is because the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.
Internal resistance is a natural property of the battery cell that slows down the flow of electric current. It’s made up of the resistance found in the electrolyte, electrodes, and connections inside the cell. In single battery cells, this resistance decides how much energy is lost as heat when the battery charges and discharges.
In practical applications, a balance must be struck between the desired voltage output and the internal resistance to ensure efficient operation of the battery pack. In a parallel connection, all the positive terminals (+) of the batteries are connected together, and all the negative terminals (-) are also connected together.
When two cells with different internal resistance are charged in parallel, the current experienced by each cell is not constant. Early in the charging process, the less resistive cell experiences a higher current.
If each cell has the same resistance of R cell = 60 mΩ, the internal resistance of the battery pack will be the sum of battery cells resistances, which is equal with the product between the number of battery cells in series N s and the resistance of the cells in series R cell. R pack = N s · R cell = 3 · 0.06 = 180 mΩ
Guide: Battery internal resistance – what, why and how?
What is the battery internal resistance? Every battery, no matter what type it is, has some internal resistance. Sometimes battery is schematicaly drawn as voltage source in series with some resistance. The internal resistance of a battery is dependent on its size, capacity, chemical properties, age, temperature, and the discharge current.
Pack Internal Resistance
The internal resistance of the battery pack is made up of the cells, busbars, busbar joints, fuses, contactors, current shunt and connectors.

The internal resistance of new cells can also vary and hence when connected in parallel the cells with a lower internal resistance will deliver more than their fair share of the current. This means these cells will run hotter based on I 2 R heating and hence will age faster. As cells age the internal resistance increases and hence there could ...

When looking for the best performing battery pack the internal resistance of the cell plays a significant role. Simple Ohm''s Law shows that as we deliver a voltage we get a voltage drop equal to the current times the resistance. The heat generation in a cell is a summation of Joule and Entropic heating. At high currents the heating is dominated by Joule …
